The Fender Jim Root Stratocaster from Slipknot guitarist Jim Root's signature model built for huge, molten tones and fluid fretwork. Featuring a mahogany body and compound-radius ebony fingerboard, the Jim Root Strat delivers a thick, distorted sound perfect for nu-metal and heavy rock.
Mahogany Body Provides Powerful Tone
The Jim Root Strat's mahogany body gives this signature model a full, punchy tone that cuts through dense mixes. Mahogany's natural warmth and sustain help each crushing power chord and squealing harmonic ring out.
Compound-Radius Fingerboard Enables Lightning-Fast Playing
With a 12" to 16" compound radius, the ebony fingerboard on the Jim Root Strat offers a flatter playing surface for the lower frets and a more rounded shape for the higher frets. This unique design promotes fluid shredding across all 22 jumbo frets. The fingerboard's smooth ebony construction also enhances note clarity and articulation.
EMG Active Pickups Provide High-Output Tone
The EMG 60 in the neck position and EMG 81 in the bridge give the Jim Root signature model an aggressive, distorted tone perfect for heavy rock and metal. The EMG 60 produces a tight, focused sound for rhythm playing, while the EMG 81 delivers a hot, crunchy tone for solos and lead lines.
Modern Specifications for Comfort and Playability
With a thin C-shaped neck, oversized headstock and hardtail bridge, the Jim Root Strat offers a fast, low-profile feel. The neck's satin urethane finish enables smooth slides up and down the fretboard, while the hardtail bridge provides rock-solid tuning stability and enhanced sustain.
