Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster Flat Black

!

Intense, dark, and menacing – the Jim Root Jazzmaster is arguably the most minimalist version ever produced in the fifty-year history of this model. At the command of the towering guitarist of Slipknot and Stone Sour, the 2-channel circuits and control arrays disappeared. Even the fret markers and the massive chrome bridge belong to the past. Frankly, pretty much everything that defines a typical Jazzmaster guitar is gone. Instead, there are intimidating EMG® Humbuckers (Neck 60, Bridge 81) with brushed nickel covers, a 3-way switch, a single volume control, and a Stratocaster® Hardtail Bridge.

Furthermore, the Jim Root Jazzmaster features a mahogany body with a comfortably contoured neck joint, a satin-finished maple neck in a modern C-profile with a large headstock, and an ebony fretboard with a compound radius (12"-16"), 22 jumbo frets, and – crucially – no fret markers. The locking tuners are staggered. Hardware and pickup frames have been blackened, matching the matte black nitro finish in Flat Black. Additionally, you'll receive a black tweed case with red lining, a strap and strap locks, a cable, and a polishing cloth.
