As the signature model of the riff mastermind from Slipknot and Stone Sour, the FENDER Jim Root Telecaster Shoreline Gold guitar impresses with powerful sounds that one would never have expected from its classic design. The mahogany body, combined with the active EMG humbuckers, delivers a powerful tone for tight, high-speed riffs, which play effortlessly thanks to the comfortable maple neck. Furthermore, the Fender Jim Root Tele is fitted with a classic hardtail bridge and locking tuners.
The Fender Jim Root Tele is based on the Telecaster design, which has been tried and tested since 1950; with modified details, it has evolved into a first-class metal guitar offering exceptional playing comfort. The body is crafted from mahogany for a powerful tone and features a rounded neck joint, allowing unhindered access to the higher frets of the bolt-on maple neck. With its ‘Modern C’ profile and flat ebony fingerboard, the neck provides the perfect foundation for any riff or solo.
Plugged into an amplifier, the FENDER Jim Root Telecaster also impresses with brutal sounds that take no prisoners and never lose their definition, even with the deepest drop tunings. This is primarily down to the active EMG 81 humbucker pickup at the bridge. With a tight bass foundation, razor-sharp mids and crystalline highs, it reproduces every note with precision, whilst its crisp attack enables expressive electric guitar playing. The EMG 60 at the neck, on the other hand, delivers a softer yet no less defined sound; it is perfectly suited to singing solos and harmonically resolved chords. The pickups are controlled directly via a 3-way blade switch and a master volume control.
The Fender Jim Root Telecaster is rounded off with robust hardware that withstands even the toughest daily grind on the metal stage with unshakeable reliability. The 6-saddle hardtail bridge, with strings routed through the body, supports a crisp attack, whilst six individually adjustable saddles ensure precise intonation and comfortable string action, even with down-tunings and thick strings. Furthermore, Fender Deluxe locking tuners on the headstock ensure precise and stable tuning.
Fender Limited Edition Jim Root Telecaster Shoreline GoldIn my opinion a very decent pro shop. We were very pleased that there is a manager talking to my (Russian) language, the language barrier was not very pleased. Great price and the reputation of the store played a critical role in the acquisition of the guitar in here. Everything is very clear and professionally!
Excellent build quality and craftsmanship.
Case is stunning.
Sounds brilliant and I'm looking forward to improving and getting even more from this brilliant guitar.
What a fantastic guitar from fender. Everything is high quality right down to the finish.
One of the best electrics I have played in a long time.
The guitar comes in 2 boxes. The first one secures the product box, so your guitar box comes clean and undamaged. Kudos for that musicstore.de !!
The American made case for the telly looks nice, but that's it...
The guitar doesn't sit snugly in it like it's the case with Ibanez prestige line cases. It is held in place by the very bottom of a guitar and the top of the neck, which can put unnecessary stress on the neck in transport (e.g. when the box is upside down ).
Ibanez prestige cases are perfectly suited for the shape of their guitars, so they are held in the centre, blocking them from even the slightest movement (top of the neck is not strained).
Telecaster came undamaged, but it makes you worry when you think about your precious guitar standing on its neck while in transport.
The craftsmanship of the Mexico made Jim's Telecaster is poor in my opinion.
The place where the neck and the body of the guitar connects had a small space around it, which unfortunately screams LOW QUALITY~!!
Frets were poorly finished as well. I have not checked them if they are at the same level, but uneven and sharp edges of the frets on the side of the neck were constantly driving me mad...
Neck pickup was angled in the weird manner. Much closer to the thin E string. It might be the setup thing, but I have not seen such thing in my ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 or ESP LTD BW-1 both with same/similar EMGs
(Indonesian made ESPs, by the way - but they scream much better quality compared to this made in Mexico tely)
The guitar had a really high action from the box, and I had a trouble to get a proper intonation with the fat E string (there was not enough space to move the saddle back any more further). Factory strings and E tuning though. But still, worth mentioning.
And the last thing... Rattling 9v battery compartment... The battery was just bouncing inside of it... There is no thing to hold it in place... I know, you can just put something around the battery so it doesn't bounce inside of the compartment, but should I really do that!? With the guitar at this price point?!!?
Again... both my Indonesian made ESPs mentioned above, had a simple metal thing that holds them in place...
Overall, I loved the guitar. It looks sick, plays well and the neck is really comfortable.
I just had a hard time to swallow the price I have paid for it...
Comparing it to Ibanez Prestige RG652FX-GK Galaxy Black, it just feels like a budged Squier...
I liked it... despite all the craftsmanship flaws, I really like it (I may even buy it again at some point). I just wish it was made with Ibanez prestige quality...
