I’ve watched this hundreds of times.. never came around to buying one. After 11 years.. I finally own one of these monsters!

It would've been funny if he said, "Jim from StoneKnot and SlipSour here".

Would be such a Jim thing to say too 😂😂

James Root is an Amazing guitarists, and has his own style that makes stone sour and slipknot great!!!

For this, I would sell my soul.

ApachE is it really good? i have a guitar already. I know that price doesnt mean anything but my guitar costs a bit more than the squier. Should i get the squier?

+AshFung M Well it all depends on your needs and your wallet, but for the price the squier version is really great. It's my first guitar so I'm not in your situation but it plays very smoothly, sounds good, looks great, and it's made of good components (it stays in tune so much better than the Epiphone les paul standard I borrowed before). What's your first guitar?

He's had that for maybe a year or two in this video and it has more wear on it than most guitars get in 15 years. BEAST.

i like jim's face..if you looking into his face you will see rock and roll..

Exactly man!! Jim really got me into teles along with John 5. And damn can those guys play. Once I've been playing and modifying my tele, I can't seem to go back to anything. I love the thing. I've took some specs from jim's guitar, mainly just the contour on the heel to reach the higher frets and man does it help. Big time. Love music. \m/ \m/

You know

I'm not gay, but I will say that he is a GOOD LOOKIN DUDE. He's my man crush x)

he is very handsome

gotta love his laugh.

nice guy. no ego. just cool.

He's not like Mick, he actually shows his face.

GOD I love Jim...

Jim probably has "you know" tattooed to his butt cheek.

I saw Jim live at the recent Carolina Rebellion show. He played a custom Jaguar ( basically his signature model just different body ) with a sticker on it. It was white w/maple neck. Rest of the show he played Gibsons for some reason. I have a white Jim Root Tele and I accidentely took a nick of paint out of it today, I usually hate scratches, but it looks good on fenders.

ya!!!!!!!! james is awesome

I will always love this man 🥰

That guitar is a veteran!

adoro a JIM!!! jaja X3

sweet guy i love!!! him

yes ! already had the black one and now the white Tele is also arrived ,it plays perfectly awesomely good !!!!!!!!

You know?You know?Ya know?......

as Paul Gray (RIP man ) said : Jim is awesome, I love Jim

I never cared too much for Telecasters but seeing his guitar and what it features, I feel like getting one.

I ordered this guitar Yesterday and it Arrive today

So I got it four days ago and it is a pure tone beast. I have it through a 6534+ and the sound is massive. The neck is nice and flat and surprisingly thin, the matte paint job has a cool quality that you can't really appreciate on the screen. String bending is just like Jim says, easy and doesn't fret out, I can bend from an A to a C# on the second string much easier that on my Gibson Les Paul Traditional. I am really happy with this purchase.

the squiers are good too, got a squier tele and they discolor exactly thesame, they turn kinda beige, the previous owner (i bought it second hand) put a white pick guard on it and dropped an EMG 85 the BRIDGE, it sounds fucking killer, because of it being designed to be in the neck position it has a lot more bass to it and it just kills

my number one choice for a guitar. i cant wait to get my hands on one!

He says it all. TONE. MACHINE.

I have this as my main guitar and love it, sounds n plays amazing. For as long as I been playing I always thought teles where just to plain n ugly, until I picked this up. Now the telecaster is one of my favorite guitars, I own 3 including this one. My Jim root tele is already showing signs of relic from my playing style.

Jim Root thee Metal Machine

i want one of those so bad

I don't know if he uses it this way (Might actually be for his hair), but a lot of players will put a hair tie around the 1st fret to dampen the strings.

Ahhh! I Love Him!! he Is FUNNY! :D

@jonahmoffatt locking tuner = locks the string in place so it don't slip out of the tuners (stays better in tuning) and you can tune them like you normaly do, the main reason is so you don't have to wind the strings at all. but you can wind them if you want to.

My precious!!!

@CLIFTYPOPS yes, was filmed at download fest..

Root is awesome guitarist. And I think this Fender Telecaster guitar is the best Telecaster guitar in the world...

Strap locks are Dimarzio clip locks, my favourite been using for last 25 years.

@sc12100 Oh one more thing that I forgot to mention that kind of goes along with density tones - WEIGHT also plays a factor. Just FYI in case you didn't know - but you might know already.

i love the fact that he wants it to wear! i wanna buy a bass(bass player) that also wears nicely!

its like a dream come true to see a telecaster made for metal. my esteem for fender raised from 1 to 8. the only thing is 22frets?!?!?!?!!!? common nobody play with a 22frets nowaday. 2 more frets and im goin to buy one

@RelaxNplay64 Actually, the Les Paul has more density and is thicker than a TELE. This would change the tone - regardless of cut-away. A tele is less dense and like I said, Fender has had tele's installed with humbuckers since the 70s. So its not a new instrument. Plus a lot of other characteristics differ from the Tele and LP like the bridge, saddle, switches - especially, and specifications of the neck. A lot of people who play guitars do not know this - but this also plays a factor in tone.

@RelaxNplay64 And Im not for or against either guitars mentioned. But considering the guitars shape, scales, electrical configuration, and a few other things - the tone will be different. And thats probably why Jim Root is a fan of the TELE rather than a LES PAUL. Root IS a Fender user though, as he also uses strats with the same pickups and other similar devices used on his tele.

I completely agree with you!!! Though, I will say that It wasn't Jim Root that got me to check out Tele's, I've always liked them. I don't like the contour body or the contour neck heel, or the active electronics, personally, but that is a bad ass guitar. I have an American Standard Tele myself, love single coil pickups, but I want in the worst way a 72 thinline...The Semi-Hollow with the dual humbuckers.

Jim you're the most PERFECT person on the fucking earth!!!!!!!!

@jonamoffatt The tuners work exactly the same as normal tuners, the only difference been that you done have to tie knots/wind them in when re-stringing your guitar. You just pull the string through, tighten the locks and cut off the excess. Also means you can pop all six strings off in seconds and makes the head stock look really tidy. A wicked feature on this guitar :)

@SlipKnoTKoRn55555 people say its a pick, and people say its a hairband. But it's an elastic that he uses to keep his fingers close together so he can hold his pick tightly.

Sold. I'll get one of those strats as soon as I have the money together

@RelaxNplay64 Thanks. Im am by no means an paid expert - its just years of playing both acoustic and electric and researching a TON about WHAT MAKES tone and volume characteristics.

@sc12100 that's one thing I like about fender guitars and basses. they're light. gibson have a great tone, but they're frikin heavy. I could end up getting this guitar because i heard that it's good for a lot more than just metal or metalcore. though i do play a decent amount of hardcore.

i wouldnt even change the pickups in this thing and i aint into active pickups but i like he's tone

@HellsHighwayTrooper nitro cellulose matte white. nitro is kinda like a vintage paint. it's what they used to coat (and still do) furniture. it's super hard! and dries super slow. :D

i have an ibanez rg custom but im not a fan of teles or strats but i love jim roots look

I was searching up old Fender amps and somehow this was a suggested video. I honestly thought this clip would annoy me somehow, as I'm not the biggest fan of either band. Truth be told this guy seems very sincere, and he really knows his stuff. I hardly hear people mention neck radius. Personally EMGs aren't my thing, but I suppose they suit that style of music nicely.

i would kill to have his tele

omg i want that guitar so bad!!!!

I bought his signature guitar brand new and it was flat white when I got it and I have had it for about a year now and it has begun to yellow.

@CampfireHedphaz jim definantly knows his stuff

@philipkatsotas yes i know those guitars but they are NOT in fender catalog, the tele is only available in 2 versions. jim has several of these guitars, so he could've just put a maple neck to a white body, it's that simple. or they could be custom shop guitars (doubt it). a white tele with maple neck/fretboard is NOT available anywhere, unless it's some other tele than a jim root tele.

Jim is awesome and tge white one is cooler than the black one I think because it ages better.

Thanks a lot ;)

@abc10thousands jim detunes that Tele in drop A or B, thats why he can bend so high :D

It’s weird if you watch the Jim Root fret12 dvd, the fender guy that made his guitar said the Tele also has the compound radius like his other models.

if they start selling a relic version of this guitar i would buy it the second i find out!!!

I love this guitar. I have one. Only issue is the volume knob gets in the way when you're hitting the strings hard.

Buying this rig just for fun.

guys i have just seen slipknot live and guess what...jim root customized a jaguar model like this tele...

Yeah man I don't like active pickups either, I rock Seymour Duncan Invader (b) and an Seymour Duncan p-rails (n). Sounds great. But to be honest, I never really liked teles until I actually sat down and played one. From there on, it's been my custom tele and me rockin' out.

james root is the best!!!

@TheJohndeer98 I just purchased this strap. It IS great!!! I love it. I can't believe I ever used anything else.

@benno369 81/60 is a versatile combination for any guitar player in my opinion, but, if you do want a Dynamic versatility then passive is really the way to go, but its hard to decide between the millions of pups out there, I'm having a coil split, Holydiver installed to replace the 81 in my Tele (non jim root model).

@sc12100 I'll give you the density thing, but I doubt the other things you mentioned make a whole lot of difference tonally no offense also yes I did know they made a tele with humbuckers in the 70s and they were made of maple which is very bright sounding wood so yeah those were even different than this

@HellsHighwayTrooper ok well that's how it has worn. it was matte white as a brand new and now it's all shiny and discoloured, damaged ect. the blood stains stick to the nitro lot better/worse than it would on the modern paints like polyurethane. great guitar, everything is great. i'm not "hating" on anyone. :D

i fucking love jim :)

I WANT IT

Exactly. That guy doesn't know what he's talking about. As long as your comfortable with the instrument, there's no limits on what you can do.

@iLoveIbanez1 yeah the Stone Sour's singer is also Corey Taylor

@philipkatsotas you cant, the production models are black maple and white ebony, the only way you could do that is if you got a a white one a somehow found amaple neck.

I can't decide which to get first. This or a Chapman ML-3 Modern Pro from their new line up.

Id buy 4 :)

@Guitarkido123 hahaha you are right, i know that the gauge really cares, but i didn't know that the nut helped a lot, my fail...

haha i love this guy and the guitar!

I'm not even a metal player and I want one

@RX7LordDrifta Indeed!

@PeanutButterGtr I use the same strap locks and it the cliplock system by dimarzio. Its great. Its impossible for it to fall off even if you are jumping and swinging it.

@MrParkourify its his hairband

i ment that i would love to hear someone playing death metal wth an l5. I play in a death metal band myself, and don't tell me that i am not intune with musicality. i love to hear and play blues, jazz, rock and other stuff and i study that heavily.

@TheNirvanafan1992 yeah awesome right ! It's actually a Fender Jazzmaster ,you can hear him explain about it on youtube ,just type in Jim Root Rig Rundown ;-)

Y A K N O W

@elliotdeware87 He said in a video like a year ago that it's a hair tie and he wears it around there so he always has it handy.

is that the actual finish? all the blood stains ect were for the effect? awesome.

@iLoveIbanez1 yeps ,Slipknot and Stone Sour ;-)

@slipknot666guitar fair enough, what works for one person might not work for someone else.
