Jim Root's Time-tested Tele Coated in a Limited-edition Finish

Featuring a limited-edition Shoreline Gold gloss finish, the Fender Jim Root Telecaster puts the vicious sounds of one of heavy metal's greatest axe slingers at your command. This tricked-out Tele is purpose-made for detuned riffage and gain-drenched solos, starting with a contoured mahogany body with a comfortably sculpted neck joint. Active EMG pickups fuel the Jim Root Tele with a crushing array of active humbucking textures, while the single Volume knob and 3-position selector keep controls simple and efficient. Next, the satin-finished maple neck features an ebony fingerboard laden with 22 jumbo frets in a 12-inch radius — a metal-ready setup if there ever was one, accommodating low-position riffage and expressive solo work with equal aplomb. You also get a blacked-out hardware setup for additional aggression, including a string-through-body 6-saddle bridge and a set of Deluxe staggered locking tuning machines. For almost two decades, the Fender Jim Root Telecaster has reigned as a favorite for guitarists who require both classic looks and brutal tones. This Fender Jim Root Telecaster carries that tonal torch with limited-edition looks and collector-grade appeal.

A hard-hitting duality of EMG active humbuckers

While most of Jim’s modern Fender guitars sport his signature EMG Daemonum pickups, this limited-edition Jim Root Telecaster turns back the clock to the model’s launch specs with a set of EMG 60 and 81 active humbuckers. This all-time classic active humbucker pairing dishes out blistering high-output tones in the bridge position with razor-sharp high-end bite, remaining articulate even when doused with gain and played in dropped tunings. In comparison, the EMG 60 neck pickup sings with a boosted midrange response, deep lows, and clarity-packed highs, mirroring the bridge's sheer aggression with a warmer, more rounded voice. Until the Daemonum set was developed in 2020, the EMG 60 and 81 set was Jim’s primary pickup configuration, and you can hear its brutal tones all over Jim's early work.

Mahogany body to cut through the mix

Jim Root’s signature Tele is optimized for performance from top to bottom, starting with a solid mahogany foundation with a comfortable belly contour. Many have asked why a mahogany body instead of the Tele’s typical alder or ash construction, and according to Jim, “mahogany guitars just sat better” in the band’s mix. The body also comes equipped with a blacked-out hardware configuration, including a 6-saddle string-through-body hardtail bridge to bolster both sustain and tuning stability.

Optimized for peak performance

Whether you’re rumbling the rafters with Jim's classic riffs or running through his distinctive lead licks, the Fender Jim Root Telecaster handles it all with optimal performance and comfort. A satin-finished maple neck in a Modern C profile kicks things off with a slim and fast feel in your fretting hand, while the body’s sculpted neck contour provides superior access to the ebony fingerboard’s jumbo-sized frets. What’s more, Jim’s choice of a 12-inch radius clocks in quite a bit flatter than a standard Fender’s fingerboard to better accommodate screaming multi-step bends in the upper register.
