EMG® Active Humbucking Pickups
For a decidedly non-traditional design and configuration, the crushing nu-metal sound of the Jim Root Telecaster is produced by a fearsome pair of EMG® active humbucking pickups.
12" Fingerboard Radius
This instrument features a fingerboard radius (the amount of curvature across the width of the fingerboard) that, at 12", is substantially more flattened than both a vintage-style 7.25" radius and a modern 9.5" radius. Feels notably flat even though there’s still slight curvature, and is great for bending notes without fretting out.
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.
Ebony Fingerboard
The Jim Root Telecaster offers a darkly alluring ebony fingerboard for smooth performance and a touch of elegance.
Mahogany Body With Satin Finish
This guitar’s strong and resonant mahogany body's satin finish is a stylish touch offering a muted matte appearance versus the glassy sheen of conventional gloss finishes.
Black Hardware
In a pleasingly malevolent touch, the sparsely appointed Jim Root Telecaster features an all-black bridge, controls, bridge pickup bezel, tuners, strap buttons and more.

These are very nice, very well-sounding Telecasters, particularly for the metal genre (though they do have EMG pickups, which some people may not like). However, I was a bit surprised and disappointed by the build quality, especially considering the "Mexican" price. The pickguard is attached at an angle, and most of the screws are rusting or the finish is peeling. This isn't a major issue, but I don't think it's acceptable at a "deep" Telecaster price. It's possible that I just got a bad example, but that's just how it goes sometimes. I would still buy this guitar again; it plays extremely well, has a beautiful, fast neck. Also, I find the weight of the guitar to be perfect, although it might be heavier than most people prefer.
