Fender Ltd Ed Jim Root Telecaster Ebony Fingerboard (Shoreline Gold)

Jim Root's signature Telecaster translates the Slipknot and Stone Sour guitarist's aggressive playing style into a mahogany-bodied instrument engineered for high-gain performance. This Limited Edition Shoreline Gold variant pairs active EMG humbuckers with a stripped-down control layout and string-through-body hard-tail bridge. The ebony fingerboard features a 12" radius and jumbo frets, configured for speed and precision across heavy rhythm work and lead passages that demand clarity under extreme distortion. The mahogany body provides midrange density and sustain, while the maple neck's ebony fingerboard delivers fast response and articulation under the fingers. Active EMG pickups supply high output with controlled noise rejection, essential when pushing high-gain amplification. Black hardware includes a string-through hard-tail bridge that maximises coupling between strings and body, enhancing sustain and tuning stability. The flat Shoreline Gold finish and minimal electronics - volume, tone, three-way switching - keep the focus on tone and playability rather than visual gloss.
