Worse than fender wine? You decide.

[myrrh]

Why are they doing hardtail versions at all?
This guitar really sucks..

[FlyingVFanatic]

I think I'm missing something. I get that Jim Root's a go-to guy or whatever, but why has he been the Fender poster boy for the last 5 years?

I think he played charvel for years before, using the strat style ones... And since fender owns charvel.... I suppose It was a natural shift for him to move to modded fenders :P

Not really into Slipknot but... Ya know, guitars are intersting

[ryan summit]

looks like someone sapped the last bit of mojo out of a jm
ill wait for the reliced version

[Krosis]

Sucky band, sucky guitar, sucky price tag.

[Decibill]

Whoa....At even half the retail price, its still wayyy expensive.

[bigchiefbc]

HAHAHA $1700 PARTSMASTER

Wow Fender. You take stuff OFF of the guitar and charge more

[wdinc01]

I was about to post this to ask if I was missing something or if Fender really was insane.

Looks wise, I don't think its too bad. But not for $1700. Also:

i think this jim root model would be pretty cool as a baritone.

Agreed

Just like the guitarist of converge. He has all these sweet guitars and puts EMGs in everything, so I guess it's just a look thing, I just don't understand EMG life though, so I shouldn't speak on the matter.

I think it looks great doe.

[rustywire]

Thanks fellas, you pretty much have this covered.
Do NOT want.

But the Orange Jim Root Terror? DO want.

That's the one thing that has always driven me mad about Kurt Ballou. But whatever. If it works for him more power to him.

Buddy of mine bought a brand new Explorer and he mentioned EMGs and I was just like...

I will say this about EMG's, they pretty much sound the same no matter what they are in. So if you want consistency.....

Weather or not that's a "Good" sound is debatable.

[D.o.S.]

Not that I play thin strings... but I actually really like it?

Yeah.... I mean... I get it. It's just... well...

You get it.
