Full Description
View Full DescriptionBuilt for heavy music
The Jim Root Telecaster was created to handle the demands of modern metal while maintaining the familiar feel of a classic Fender design. Every aspect of the instrument has been refined to suit high-gain playing styles, from the simplified control layout to the powerful active pickup configuration. Tracking precise rhythm parts in the studio, heavy rehearsal schedules, performing on stage - this guitar consistently delivers the focused response and reliability needed for aggressive contemporary music. Its straightforward design eliminates distractions and places the emphasis firmly on performance.
Powerful EMG electronics
A combination of EMG 81 and EMG 60 active humbuckers gives the Jim Root Telecaster its distinctive voice. The bridge-position EMG 81 provides tight lows, articulate mids, and cutting highs that excel under heavy distortion, while the neck-position EMG 60 offers smooth lead tones and excellent clarity for clean passages. Together they provide exceptional versatility while maintaining the high output and definition required for modern metal, hard rock, and alternative styles.
Fast and comfortable playability
The maple neck features a comfortable Modern "C" profile paired with a 12" radius ebony fingerboard for a playing experience that feels fast and precise. The flatter radius allows for wide bends without fretting out, while the jumbo frets make technical passages and expressive lead playing effortless. Ebony contributes a smooth feel under the fingers and a crisp attack that complements the guitar's aggressive tonal character, making it ideal for demanding players.
Reliable performance hardware
Premium hardware ensures the Jim Root Telecaster performs consistently in every situation. Deluxe staggered locking tuners improve tuning stability while making string changes quicker and easier. The string-through-body hardtail bridge enhances sustain and resonance while providing solid intonation and dependable tuning. Black hardware throughout completes the guitar's understated yet aggressive aesthetic, creating an instrument that looks every bit as purposeful as it sounds.
