Jim Root Stratocaster
(Flat Black)
Made In Collaboration With Jim RootModern metal titan Jim Root is known for his work in Slipknot, one of the worlds biggest metal bands, alongside Stone Sour. Jim has toured around the world and recorded multiple records for decades and his signature Stratocaster is his weapon of choice. For heavy, downtuned riffing this guitar can do you no wrong. The Jim Root Stratocaster delivers crushing tone with a sleek modern look. The towering Slipknot guitarist joined Fender in creating a huge-sounding signature Strat model that complements his heavy playing style. It's compound-radius fingerboard (12" to 16"), EMG® active humbucking pickups, sparse control layout and more give you everything you need to make waves.
Amazing Features
• Mahogany body with sharp radius
• Modern “C”-shaped neck profile and large headstock
• Ebony or maple compound-radius fingerboard (12” to 16”) with 22 jumbo frets and no position inlays (side-dot inlays only)
• EMG® 60 (neck) and 81 (bridge) active humbucking pickups
• Single control knob (volume) and three-way pickup switch
As Seen On Stage
EMG pickupsFender’s modern take on the Stratocaster sees the Jim Root signature come loaded with a set of powerful active EMG humbuckers in both the neck and bridge positions. These high output pickups are renowned for providing powerful crunch with plenty of low end and clarity.
Modern “C”-shaped neckFor easy playability for both riffing and soloing the Jim Root Stratocaster comes with a smooth satin finished maple neck with modern "C" shaped neck profile, together with a 22-jumbo fret ebony fingerboard the playability of this instrument knows no bounds.
Why Choose The Jim Root Stratocaster?
EMG® ACTIVE
HUMBUCKING PICKUPSFor a decidedly non-traditional design and configuration, the crushing modern metal sound of the Jim Root Stratocaster is powered by a fearsome pair of EMG® active humbucking pickups.
COMPOUND-RADIUS
FINGERBOARDThis instrument features a compound-radius fingerboard, a sophisticated and carefully crafted feature in which the fingerboard has a more pronounced curvature across its width near the nut and gradually flattens to a very slight curvature toward the upper frets both riffing, bending notes and soloing.
LOCKING
TUNERSA convenient high-end, high-performance feature, locking tuners provide increased tuning stability, especially on tremolo-equipped guitars, and they make changing strings much faster and easier than conventional tuners.
EBONY
FINGERBOARDThe Jim Root Stratocaster in Flat Black model features a darkly alluring ebony fingerboard with no inlays.
SATIN LACQUER
FINISHThe finish on this instrument joins the resonance and thin breathability of lacquer with the stylishly muted matte look of a satin color coat.
JUMBO
FRETSThe largest of the fret sizes, jumbo frets are tall and wide, allowing you to get a better grip on the strings for more control over them and making bends and vibrato easier. A good choice for players with larger hands and thicker fingers.
