General

This Jim Root Jazzmaster guitar from Fender's Artist series is a highly characteristic instrument. It is the most minimalistic and distinctive version in the history of the Jazzmaster.

Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster: Humbucker Pickups

The Jim Root (of Slipknot) Signature Jazzmaster electric guitar has a mahogany body and a maple neck. The neck features a satin-gloss finish and a modern C-profile. One of the exceptional features of this particular Jazzmaster is that it has no position markers on its fretboard. And that's not the only thing that's missing, yet the amazing part is that this guitar doesn't compromise on quality. The intentional minimalistic character of this guitar is gracefully compensated by two humbucker pickups, a three-position pickup switch, a master volume knob and a hard-tail Stratocaster bridge instead of the original chrome one. Just like Jim Root likes his signature guitars.

Hardware

Other striking features of this guitar include is its black hardware, the seventies-style headstock and the Jim Root signature emblem on the back of it. This guitar has a particularly warm, clear sound and a unique look. It is a top-quality instrument for the Artist Series, on which already many other famous guitarists have left their mark.

Wrote the following about Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster Electric Guitar

Stark, dark and menacing, the Jim Root Jazzmaster has got to be the most distinctively minimalist version of the instrument ever devised in the model's entire half-century history. At the behest of the towering Slipknot/Stone Sour guitarist, gone are the dual tone circuits and barrage of controls. Gone are the fret position markers and enormous chrome bridge. Gone, in fact, is pretty much everything typical of a Jazzmaster guitar, replaced only by fearsome EMG 60 (neck) and 81 (bridge) humbucking pickups with brushed nickel covers, a single three-way switch, a single volume knob and a hard-tail Stratocaster bridge.

The Jim Root Jazzmaster also features a mahogany body with a comfortable contoured neck heel, satin-finish maple neck with "modern C" profile and large headstock, compoundradius ebony fingerboard (12"-16") with 22 jumbo frets and no position markers, staggered deluxe locking tuners, black hardware and pickup bezels, and an austere Flat Black satin nitro lacquer finish.

Includes black tweed case with red plush interior, strap and strap locks, cable and polishing cloth.

Though the price point is steep its definitely worth the money because it doesnt get any more comfortable than this.
