Comments about Fender Jim Root Signature Model Telecaster Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

This guitar literally blew my mind. My expectations were high beings this is a signature model for a modern day legend. I was amazed. The ebony Fretboard w/ Jumbo Frets + the compound radius is fast and sleek. The Tone goes from classic, to rock/metal in the flip of the switch. I have not stopped playing this thing, and it has moved to my number one spot!! Check it out, I guarantee you will not be upset- this is a stage performer, or perfect for jamming/practicing.

Comments about Fender Jim Root Signature Model Telecaster Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

i bought this guitar new from a store, white one, and couldn't get it set up without buzz. turns out that the frets were popping out!! i had to take it to get fixed at a cost of $277 to me to make it playable.
per email from fender they "can't work with me" cause i didn't go to an "authorized service center" to be fixed! (i took it to the best repairman in town according to everyone out here!)
thanks fender for the not caring about your quality, or the people who buy your garbage! i will never buy another fender product again! and i would suggest that everyone else think twice about buying from them too!

Comments about Fender Jim Root Signature Model Telecaster Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

This guitar is great. I have owned it for over a year and it still is the most fun to play of my collection. It may not have many features but it has amazing tone. The neck feels great and the pick ups with the wood choice is the best thing about this guitar. The EMG 81 in my opinion is the best metal pick up out there, passive or active. The EMG 60 is the hidden jem of this guitar. I have never heard or played a warmer pick up then the 60 with these wood choices. It has crushing tones for rhythms and has amazing quality for lead playing.

Comments about Fender Jim Root Signature Model Telecaster Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

This s a great guitar, another fine Fender product. This guitar sounds more aggressive than other "metal" guitars I have owned. Only one beef though, the nut is set up for a 9-42 string gauge. So if you play in a Drop tuning(like Slip Knot) and want to put heavy strings on the guitar you will have to have the nut filed and the guitar resetup. I would have thought a Jim Root guitar would have been set up for potential Drop tuning setups.

Comments about Fender Jim Root Signature Model Telecaster Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

I would consider for a pro that loves fenders or Tele's and has always wanted a Metal one that can also play softer rock or clean. This guitar can play everything.
