      Also not slapping logos and branding all over the guitar. You wouldn't know this was a Jim Root signature unless you REALLY know guitars. I see lots of people play his signature in other bands too, the Jim Root telecasters were great guitars for any genre. I knew people who owned them and didn't even really know Slipknot or Jim, so there's that.

    I'll be honest, every time Jim does a demo for one of the Fender companies (Fender, Jackson, Charvel, etc), his tone always sounds better than his normal tone. EVH needs to just send him a truckload of EVH 5150s so he can finally switch lmao.

    Never was a Slipknot fan, but Jim Root comes across as a sound guy, plus I appreciate his taste in guitars in the sense that he doesn't need to go for total OTT unnecessarily spiky 'metuhhl' axes. Ultimately a metal workhorse guitar comes down to stuff like your pickups, fretboard radius, or whatever the hell works for you.

    Out of the Jim and Mick imo Jim for me personally has always been the most relatable out of Slipknots guitarists. Style wise I have always been drawn to him out of the two as well. I can relate to his story and guitar playing... he plays metal but is also rooted in rock and will also bust out some crazy jazz licks when hes noodling around lol. His guitars are always basic but yet SO AWESOME. I remember when I first saw them back in 99 at ozzfest I remember seeing him play either a jackson or charvel dinky. But def when I saw them in 04 during the subliminal versus era Im pretty sure he was playing black charvel san dimas guitars before he signed w/ fender. Besides Eddie Van Halen, Jim Root was a big inspiration for me growing up playing guitar in the early 00's in high school and was the guitarist that turned me onto Charvel guitars.

    Oh wow, he had all these "ideas" for the guitar (the switch placement, the knob placement etc) that he came up with on his own, yet they were offered as a standard feature in charvel guitars for like the past 7-8 years

    Those Charvel models that Jim came out with are way better than his crappy fender guitars and sound super killer, especially with the Floyd Rose tremolo on them which is super killer and deadly! EXCELLENT! 🎸🎸

    Nobody sells a guitar like Jim! That is a sweet Pro-Mod though no denying that!
