Designed with Slipknot's iconic guitarist





Slipknot has been churning out some of the hardest-hitting metal riffs for over a decade, thanks in no small part to the untamed tone of guitarist Jim Root. While some metal guitarists still don't know that you can serve up sonic evisceration with a Jazzmaster, Jim Root knows better - the Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster has ultra-smooth playability with high-octane output provided by EMG humbucking pickups.





Non-traditional mahogany body





While most Jazzmaster sport an alder body, Slipknot's Jim Root plays a mahogany model for its tighter low-end response and awesome sustain. The Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster holds true to his signature guitar, with a mahogany body that sets it apart from most Jazzmasters. The flat black finish and chrome EMG pickups give this metal machine an understated look. A contoured neck heel gives you access to the upper frets you need when laying down an out-of-this-world solo.





Made for today's metal guitarist





The unique offset body design of the Jazzmaster has made it a stand-out on stages across the world. Jim Root's signature Jazzmaster takes this prized instrument and tweaks it for metal, with a pair of EMG pickups and a compound-radius fretboard for effortless lead playing. All of the electronics we're stripped out except a volume control and pickup switch. Take is from the guitar experts at Sweetwater, you'll love the aggressive character of the Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster.
