Fender 2018 USA Jim Root Jazzmaster Satin Matte Black + OHSC 33874

Description

This is a 2018 Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster in satin black finish, made in USA. Really solid guitar that plays great. Modern C-shape neck, with jumbo frets and ebony fretboard. The EMGs wail. Frets are in A+ condition. It has some edge marks shown in pics. Comes with original zebra stripe case, which works great but has some smoke smell in it from previous owner. I'm currently airing it and treating it, so will get rid of it somewhat, but if smoke smell bothers you, it might be a problem. (I can replace with a Fender tweed case on request, though it's not the G&G level tweed.) Weight is 8 pounds, 8 ounces. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) I may end auction early if it sells elsewhere. Thanks for looking!

Manufacturer Info
The Fender Jim Root Stratocaster electric guitar is as unique as Slipknot's guitar maestro himself. Featuring a black mahogany body and a 25-1/2" scale maple neck with a thin "C" shape and an oversized headstock fitted with Fender Deluxe cast/sealed locking tuning machines. A smooth ebony fretboard sports 22 jumbo frets and a 12" to 16" compound radius that promotes super fast shredding. The Fender Jim Root guitar has an EMG-60 active humbucker (neck) and EMG-81 active humbucker (bridge) that let your solos roar through the crowd. A 6-saddle strings-through-body hardtail bridge adds even more sustain to the Fender Stratocaster sound. Includes a hardshell guitar case. (full specs at bottom)

Guitar Setup

All our setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!

Packing

I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Manufacturer Info

Jim Root has torn up stages performing with Slipknot and Stone Sour, and his style, sound, and look comes your way with the Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster electric guitar. This axe features a minimalistic design with only one control dial for your master volume settings. A three-way pickup selector switch gives you three settings for your EMG 60 neck and EMG 81 bridge humbuckers, and a warm and resonant mahogany body provides loads of sustain and bottom end to your playing. A classic Jazzmaster body shape with a contoured neck heel and a sleek-looking bevel cut feels comfortable against your front, and a comfy maple neck with an ebony fingerboard provides super-smooth traveling for your fingers. Instill some fear into your audience with this stripped-down tone machine!

EMG 81 and EMG 60 Humbuckers
An EMG 81 bridge and an EMG 60 neck humbucker pairing gives you all of the full and rich tone needed to forge a wall of metal through your amplifier. EMG pickups are very popular among metal players because of the rich articulation they bring to the table. These baddies are the perfect pair for heart-stopping power-chord chugs and wailing leads. You'll never be able to get enough of how much tonal force these babies lay right at your fingertips.

6-Saddle Strings-Thru-Body Strat Bridge
This axe is all about minimalism. From its single master volume control to its absence of fret position inlays, Jim Root went as bare-bones as he could with this design. A 6-saddle American Series strings-thru-body Strat bridge with block-style saddles keeps things simple and minimal both aesthetically and mechanically.
