Fender Artist Jim Root Jazzmaster Guitar, Ebony Neck, Flat Black

The Jim Root Jazzmaster guitar is a striking and menacing instrument. It's the most distinctively minimalist Jazzmaster ever created in its half - century history. At the request of the famous Slipknot guitarist, many typical Jazzmaster features are removed. Dual tone circuits, numerous controls, fret position markers, and the large chrome bridge are all gone. Instead, it's equipped with fearsome EMG® humbucking pickups with brushed nickel covers, a single three - way switch, a single volume knob, and a hardtail bridge.

Using the Jim Root Jazzmaster guitar is straightforward. First, plug it into your amplifier using a standard guitar cable. The single three - way switch lets you choose between different pickup combinations for various tones. The single volume knob controls the overall sound level. When you're not using the guitar, always put it back in the deluxe black tweed hardshell case to protect it from scratches and damage. Keep the guitar in a stable environment with a consistent temperature and humidity to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings down after each use with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt, which can extend their lifespan. Also, check the tuning regularly, especially before playing a gig or recording. The deluxe staggered cast/sealed locking tuning machines make it easier to keep the guitar in tune.
