Fender Jim Root Telecaster - Flat White

Overview of Fender Jim Root Telecaster - Flat White

THE ROOT OF CRUSHING TELE® TONE

Fender presents the Jim Root Telecaster, a truly modern spin on a classic axe. As the lead guitarist for both Slipknot and Stone Sour, Jim Root is one of today's top heavy guitarists. This Tele was a labor of love for both the artist and Fender, and combines several unique features to give it an identity all its own. This tone-laden Tele sports EMG pickups packed into a mahogany body for a big, thick sound. The Jim Root Telecaster is a modern Tele built for BIG sounds!

For heavy, molten nu-metal Tele® style, the Jim Root Telecaster delivers crushing detuned tone with a stark utilitarian look. The towering Slipknot guitarist worked with Fender to create a huge-sounding signature Telecaster model that complements his heavy playing style, and it's a beast - right down to its 12"-radius fingerboard, EMG® active humbucking pickups, sparse control layout and more. Brutal.
