Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster Electric Guitar, Flat Black, Hard Shell Case

Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster Electric Guitar, Flat Black, Hard Shell Case Stark, dark and menacing, the crushing Jim Root Jazzmaster guitar has got to be the most distinctively minimalist version of the instrument ever devised in the model's entire half-century history. At the behest of the towering Slipknot guitarist, gone are the dual tone circuits and barrage of controls. Gone are the fret position markers and enormous chrome bridge. Gone, in fact, is pretty much everything typical of a Jazzmaster, replaced only by fearsome EMG humbucking pickups with brushed nickel covers, single three-way switch and single volume knob, a hardtail bridge and little else. Features - Mahogany body with contoured neck heel - Maple neck with "C"-shaped profile and large headstock - Compound-radius ebony 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 with brushed nickel covers and black bezels - Single control knob (volume) and three-way pickup switch - Hard-tail string-through-body bridge EMG Active Humbucking Pickups For a decidedly non-traditional design and configuration, the crushing nu-metal sound of the Jim Root Jazzmaster is produced by a fearsome pair of EMG 60 (neck) and 81 (bridge) active humbucking pickups with brushed nickel covers. Compound-Radius Fingerboard This 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 (ideal for chording) and gradually flattens to a very slight curvature toward the upper frets (perfect for bending notes and soloing). Locking Tuners A convenient high-end, high-performance feature, locking tuners offer increased tuning stability, especially on tremolo-equipped guitars, and they make changing strings substantially faster and easier than conventional tuners.

No visible repairs were necessary, and no modifications were made except the back of the headstock was stamped USED and the original serial number was replaced/covered with a new one. I also notice that the case has some faint discoloration/stain on the outside - see the photos for detail. Check-out the videos on YouTube and more information on the Fender website. This is a Great guitar at a Great Price! Enjoy! SKU 1010
