I owned the Jim Root tele for a hot minute. Sent it back to Sweetwater because of a blemish in the ebony board that I just couldn't get over, HOWEVER, that guitar played like a dream and sounded killer! Had it in Drop C with heavy top slinky bottoms and was amazing. I ended getting a Charvel so cal style 2 in the long run, but I'll probably get another JR tele in the near future.

Nothing is as comfortable than playing a Strat, unfortunately not all of them sound good for metal. This one needs to be a permanent in the Fender line.

Single-coils can sound thick as hell when going into a loud, non-M/V amp. The problem is sometimes a bridge single-coil doesn't sound so awesome when going through a bunch of little 12AX7's cascaded into one another.

Got mine in 2010 when it released for 8100kr (around 1000$) and still have it. One of the best guitars i have played!
Ola, everything about this Rig suits your style. Especially that guitar
I’d love to see Ola testing out stereotypical 80s gear like Crate’s Blue Voodoo or something similar and trying to get a good modern sound out of it.

My dream guitar.
I have the Tele version. It’s been one of my lifetime favorite guitars. Thanks for this Ola, no how bout the YJM Strat.
Ola played a guitar I actually own! LOL But for real, this axe kicks ass. I started with a Squire Strat, worked my way to a MIM HSS Strat, and finally got this one last year. All I ever wanted was some EMGs on a Strat and this guitar far exceeded my exceptions. Definitely feels smoothers and more quality parts than my MIM Strat. Keep up with the awesome videos!
I just bought a Squire JazzMaster with active pickups! So awsome. Loved this Video ola
I actually prefer the tele, I just like teles
Sometimes I forget how wicked badass Ola is when he actually plays. .
Bra jobbat! Fint video samt riktig snygg gitarr som låter fantastisk. Det som bara fattas är talang att spela den.
I own the white Telecaster and it also came in the same case. Its funny to see your reaction, I had the exact same feeling. Its a pretty basic instrument, just plug in and play but that simplicity makes it awesome and they handle awesome!
Hey Ola! I was thinking you should try the 24 volt mod for EMG guitars. It's a battery that is the size of a single 9 volt battery but it has 2 and half times the voltage. It really helps make the pickups sound less compressed and for people who don't like EMGs makes them more likeable. For about $25 it's a great mod that doesn't break the bank.

What? It doesn't matter if it's a Fender Strat, a Solar, an LP or an RG. If you fill it with the right hardware and has a certain player play it, It doesn't matter what brand or name it has. It's gonna sound like that player playing his/her music. All the Solars, Charvels, Jacksons, Ibanez' and so on are Super-Strats, so they evolved from a Strat..... You need to listen to more music and get some knowledge about guitars if you're that stigmatic about what specific guitars can and cannot do. Jesus Christ.

@@TheKZOShow you've gone off on one here, I think you need to reign it in a bit. Certain guitars are known for their characteristics. If someone says they have a strat, the majority will think of 3 single coils, maple neck and an ash/alder body. This couldn't be more different than that, that is what OP is getting at. In fact, it's such a departure, it's surprising it bears the stratocaster name, imo. I agree with OP on that, and I own one of these. Get some more sleep, or something to eat, you need to chill out.

Honestly speaking, can't say that I liked the tone of the rig, but overall Guitar looks sooo beautiful that i'd love to buy one. Ultimate Metal fender stratocaster!!!! What I would be interested in really is actually having same setup but switching emg 81 with emg 57, than blackouts. Thank you Ola for a review.
The case is fantastic

That mesa boogie though 😍😍😍😍
I own all the Jim Root models except the newest Mexico Jazzmaster V4. The Strat is by far the most comfy body of em all. His signature models really worth it guys. You won't regret it.
