For heavy, molten nu-metal Tele style, the Jim Root Telecaster delivers crushing detuned tone with a stark utilitarian look. The towering Slipknot guitarist worked with Fender to create a huge-sounding signature Telecaster model that complements his heavy playing style, and it's a beast - right down to its 12"-radius fingerboard, EMG active humbucking pickups, sparse control layout and more. Brutal.

EMG Active Humbucking Pickups

For a decidedly non-traditional design and configuration, the crushing nu-metal sound of the Jim Root Telecaster is produced by a fearsome pair of EMG active humbucking pickups.

12" Fingerboard Radius

This instrument features a fingerboard radius (the amount of curvature across the width of the fingerboard) that, at 12", is substantially more flattened than both a vintage-style 7.25" radius and a modern 9.5" radius. Feels notably flat even though there’s still slight curvature, and is great for bending notes without fretting out.

Locking Tuners

A convenient high-end, high-performance feature, locking tuners offer increased tuning stability, especially on tremolo-equipped guitars, and they make changing strings substantially faster and easier than conventional tuners.

Ebony Fingerboard

The Jim Root Telecaster offers a darkly alluring ebony fingerboard for smooth performance and a touch of elegance.

Mahogany Body With Gloss Finish

This guitar's strong and resonant mahogany body's gloss finish is a striking touch, offering a rich, lustrous shine that captures that iconic Fender look.

Black Hardware

In a pleasingly malevolent touch, the sparsely appointed Jim Root Telecaster features an all-black bridge, controls, bridge pickup bezel, tuners, strap buttons and more.
