Jim Root on his signature Stratocaster® | Fender
/ fender - Hudba
Imagine being a big slipknot fan working in a guitar store and Jim root walks in and buys his own guitar off you.
😂😂😂
Alex Moore Too bad it was probably somebody who didn’t even know him. Being that he’s most known for wearing a mask.
Everything you wrote is cool except for the part of being a big slipknot fan.
@@clintwilson6380 God forbid someone is a fan of a band you don't like
Yes!
If anyone was wondering, he said 'you know' 9 times in only two minutes
Meddie Diablo I'm glad you counted my friend
just so you know
My parents say “you know” so much
That's a "you know" every 13.3 seconds on average
It's still much easier on the ears than hearing "like" every other word. 😂😂☠️
it's a you know stratocaster
Youknowcaster?
Imagine being the guy in the store:
-- "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I take the Jim Root Signature strat."
-- "Your credit card, sir." ... "Jim Root?!?"
"Hell, yeah!"
That isn't Jim Root, that's a Fender rep who is being voiced over by Jim Root.

wanna talk about humble. This dude went a payed for one of his own signature series guitars
His strat is so sick, I've always wanted a strat like Jim's. I'll get one one day.
damn dude did u get it?
Its been 11 years since you've commented this. I hope you got it by now man!
@@zackysykes still haven’t got it but the time will come one day still! Thank you for caring
he doesn't look right without the beard
He's so young.
without long hair
He has a long beard to hide the double chin
It’s the haircut
Just bought it....definitely a TONE monster
His admiration for Ritchie Blackmore, Malmsteen and more iconic stratocaster guitar players this call RESPECT and I love that because this not a another arrogant guitar player is a great person and talented guitar player.
He had the Tele , Stratocaster and the Jaguar he basically give another personality to this vintage iconic guitars from Fender .
So THAT'S what his face looks like.
Go watch Corey Taylor and Jim Root rare interview...the guy beside Corey is Jim(youger of course)
Alwis alwis alwis loved strats
IT ALSO HAPPENED TO ME I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
SAME HAHAHAHAH
"Excuse me Sir, are you Jim Root? How can I help?"
"Yeah, you know, I'm here to buy the Jim Root Strat. Is 3 million dollars okay?"
Just bought this beauty!
Gotta love Jim!!
mannn that guitar is awesome
it looks amazing
What i mean by this is that i've noticed that the pickups, scale length, bridge construction, fret material, string brand and gauge all have a bigger effect on tone than any of the woods used because they directly alter the way the string vibrates and for how long. That said you cannot deny that when an electric has it's strings completely muted, is plugged into an amp, and you simply knock the body with your hand you hear different tones from different body woods and body shapes
You're right in that the wood has no effect on the pickups, but it affects how the string vibrates, which then translates in to the pickup. For example, a string hooked up to metal poles secured in concrete will sound different and resonate differently than a string hooked up between two pieces of semi flexible plastic, even if the tension is the same.
I'm leaning towards calling all wood discussion snobbery. Yes if you play a clean sound and have nothing in between your guitar and amp...maybe you'll hear a difference. Live playing via a wireless and a signal chain through speakers..? Nah. In studio, playing via Axe Fx and a long signal chain? Nope.
right on bro. keep doing what youre doing.
This is really a very beautiful and very special machine. I totally want one (-:
its sooooo beautiful
Whoop! Brighton 🤟🤟🤟
I've been to the guitar shop Jim bought this at ah that's awesome!
ive always just assumed it was how the string vibrates because of the material. nevertheless i think we are missing something here. you and i agree on most everything except for one little issue. the significance of the body wood. and even there we both agree that its there for a reason. you are the only person who has been able to respond to what i have to say without just saying WRONG or insulting me. for that and our similar views you have my respect and kudos. excellent work.
I was there when he bought that strat! :D
Dude. There was one on stage on AGT Extreme last night. 🤘🏼💀
one of the metal father J.:R with his killer weapon
Fender should make more guitars with compound radiuses.
i was kinda wonderin about that, i was thinkin of gettin a strat with the floyd rose and puttin in a dimarzio into the bridge, but that would essentially turn it into an ibanez, so 70s reissueit is, but do the humbuckers affect the strat sound much though?
Fan of the satin/flat black with ebony fretboard. But am not a big fan of EMGs. Love high gain pickups through VOX AC30 or a Marshall JCM800 though.
Love EMGs...to each their own, Seymour's and Dimarzios are awesome as well
I have the white Jim Root Tele and I just bought the white Jim Root Strat like two minutes ago haha and I will be having a friend of mine who is a luthier route out and install black dots on the fingerboard for me.
Hmm, as a guitarist owning several guitars of the same shape, but with different body woods, (mahog, lots of basswood ones, and alder), I've never thought hard about what mostly affects the tone of a solid body electric and have taken it as a given that body wood has a radical effect on tone. I also did the physics until the very end of secondary school. I believe you are mostly correct. Anything that affects the strings and their amplification will have a dominant effect on tone.
I wish there’s a Squier version of this, like the Tele
This with a top notch floating trem like a vega would be ideal for me,
I have the JR tele which I love but would love a trem model too
most beautiful stratocaster ever!
Exactly my thoughts.
The scale and string tension are primary factors to the tone. The original, lengthy discussion was regarding the belief of some that the body material of an electric guitar is the primary element of it's amplified tone. It is a misnomer which manufacturers have borrowed from the world of acoustic guitars, violins, pianos, etc., where body material is the primary factor in tone.
Currently holding this guitar.
Ejem estoy puramente encantado con el modelo esta y la telecaster y la les paul negra son mis modelos favoritos son tres guitarras hermosas
gente coisa lindaaaaaa
i was there when he brought that guitar in Brighton lol
Wanted to see him jam on it in this video!
So, you wanted jim to jam...HUH?
O.K. I'll let myself out.
does it have locking tuners? it looks awesome :D
his voice reminds me of microsoft sam
"Oh yeah mate, this is a killer guitar. Jim Root Strat. Have you shopped with us before? What's your phone number, I'll look you up in the system."
It's nice to know that Brighton, England can help Slipknot and Stonesour, even with the exchange rate between the dollar and sterling being what it is!
Beautiful guitar. If only it was in my local guitar center so i could try it before i buy.
Great channel name brother! :)
tompezza123 meh
How could this video end without him playing :(
The video ends with him playing
Or we could just say, when trying out guitars, "HEY! I like the way this one sounds and feels. I think I'll buy it."
i didnt see the captions explaining since i saw it on my iphone first. as i made evident before with metalmeister i know my way around the electronics of a guitar
I love this frickin guitar man. It's hard to really hear the quality of it through a CZcams vid, but you know if it's tuned to slipknot "b"? And Jim root is playing it, the distortion must be insane
These guitars rule. Played them in Guitar Center over and over. Just overpriced for what it is.
+Sawyer Smoak overpriced ? It's a custom fender. I play this guitar and earnie balls music man and for the price I get more out of this strat. Good guitars made in the states or Japan cost a lot that's how it is
ive heard the difference in true bypass by the way. especially when youre running through 7 peadls with them and 7 without them. its black and white. also i have a video below that shows the tonal differences of identical guitars with ash and alder. look up FGN Ash vs Alder. i can hear a pretty decent difference in this vid. which is saying something because these woods sound similar (supposedly) only exchanging mids for bass.
Born some 60 years ago and with few mods it sounds and looks like a modern guitar, only a genius could have created such a masterpiece!
finally someone who explained how wood affects the sound of the electric guitar! :-)
Some labs have even done tests to see if listeners can differentiate between a tube or solid state amplified audio signal. The results always turn out the same. They test 30 or so people, 29 can't reliably choose, and 1 guy with great ears gets it right every time. Thus, keeping the debates alive. The gear companies that make millions off of all of us work very hard to propel this thinking forward.
The great Jim Root
Yes that is true, but what I meant is the EMG pickup's pickups only pickup the strings vibration, they don't pick up the sustain throught the body of the guitar. While Passive pickups pick up a lot of sustain and vibration from the strings AND the body.
An acoustically resonant object has more than one resonance frequency, especially at harmonics of the strongest resonance. It will easily vibrate at those frequencies, and vibrate less strongly at other frequencies. It will "pick out" its resonance frequency from a complex excitation, such as an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its resonance. I've measured this in a lab, with 15 different woods, and 10 other materials.
Same problem with the tele. That volume nob is in the same place where I can't do fast down-picking. My hand always hits it.
GAK in Brighton, England ;)
Carl has his own signature with LSL guitars, check it out!
I have owned all three of his signatures model, and I have to say the Strat is the best.
so revolutionary. a standard metal guitar in the shape of a strat!
Then play it a little lower or towards the point where you are playing almost or over the neck pickup. I have a strat and the volume doesn't bother me when I down-pick. And wait how do you hit the volume if you are down picking? Doesn't your hand stay over the bridge pickup?
ive heard pretty decent differences on more than one occasion, only difference being body wood. predictable ones too, not just contrast. both electronics and materials matter.
i get my guitars from that shop in Brighton
play it jim!!!
They do! Check out the modern players and classic players, the classic player 60s strat has a 12'' radius like this
I'm waiting for them to come out with a Squire version, like the Telecaster.
Just the fender stratocaster I was waiting for, only I like the thinner headstock of fender better then this one(but it is no going to withhold me from buying this guitar). Prefect for when i have my ESP Eclipse 1-CTM VBK.
I don't know if you've ever actually played a guitar, but the entire guitar vibrates quite a bit when you pluck a string. Different vibration frequencies are brought out and dampened by different woods depending on density and porousness. These vibrations go back into the strings and are picked up by the pickups. If you disagree with this theory, think about how different a guitar sounds with new strings compared to old ones. The different from wood isn't huge, but it's definitely significant.
lol 2 year differnce makes him look so much better with his jazz master
You're a good egg! That was fun. So many stupid people here it's refreshing to find a know-it-all like me! ;) We really wrote a damn book here. Cheers!
cool
....I think most the guys I've worked with would tell you they thought Maple tops and veneers actually drain sustain from the guitar. The biggest reason an LP can go on for what is seemingly an eternity ;) is it's 13 degree headstock angle which combines with the fixed bridge to equate to a guitar design that sings. The strings have nothing to do but vibrate. S-style guitars with lower head angles use string trees to try and achieve this effect. The trees, however, hinder tuning stability.
with a hard wood like Pine. But all those Broadcasters and Nocasters are Pine guitars. They defined several genres. There are gobs of builders who make completely bodyless guitars like MiniStar, for instance, on the low end of the budget. To some insane designs from Teuffel and other mad scientists. The better equipped they are, the better they sound. They have all the sustain and resonance as any other handmade. The fact that there is no body material does not factor to the sound in the amp.
well yeah a guitar like that would still function and have a good core tonality, it would just be missing . i remember when he used pine, they still make some with it, it seems interesting. a body will never make anything TOO anything. people cared what woods, george fullerton was there monitering the creation of his instruments they got off pine realy quick because it wasnt strong enough and would dent and break easily because of how soft it was. it actually sounds really warm and nice.
Love this guitar's body,just wish it had a different shaped headdstock in black.
They do have reference dots on the top though mate...
anyone know where i can purchase all the black hardware on this guitar? I need the tuners bridge nut and even the output plug
+MolsonEx1903 Look on Amazon
+Benn Cantwell I did and it's not on amazon.ca
I found a bunch of black strat hardware on amazon, you just have to know where to look.
The vibrating string causes vibrations in whatever it is fixed to. Put a guitar down, strum it and feel the body -it's vibrating. Wood affects the tone of a note by absorbing some frequencies, causing them to quickly decay; and reinforcing others, causing them to become more prominent and encouraging vibrations of that frequency in the string -which is then in turn picked up by the pickup.
does anyone know if the strat as the same paint issues as the tele ? (i know jim root wanted the paint to wear off faster)
nameless ghoul: Yes. All Jim root models have a nitrocellulose lacquer finish which will show wear considerably quicker than a standard gloss finish
well that´s a turn off for me :/. was planning on buying either the fender strat or the tele.
What tuning and string gauge does the guitar come with?
WOOLgum 10 gauge and I don't know the tuning
probably Drop B
hmmm i like messen around with my squire strat.. i can not imagine a metal sound comeing from it.. even though i like messen around with sounds.. i have in the pass fooled around with a tuffer blue's mabey with a little edge.. could be a cool sound i think mabey make some heads turn..
of course they can! Volume pot is the key
HE BOUGHT THE BLACK FENDER AT GAK IN BRIGHTON :)
he's so good, i was just saying he doesn't look like he's in a metal band. as in, i would have never guessed haha.
Guitar This is one of them. Sound is powerful Black like me to be myself
im not saying wood or construction, and hardware doesnt matter it totally does. but the pickups are overall the biggest influence over the sound of an amplified solid body guitar instrument. you dont have to be rich to change the pickups you just have to be passionate about your tone enough to pay the money.
yeah you got it right on.
No one else can see, how brutal fenders are but me.
It's kinda weird that Jim Root looks like he would be in a band my dad listened to as a kid.
Finally? have you ever looked for an answer before? im not trying to be a jerk, i agree with this guy but i didnt think it was much of a secret. you get a thumbs up as a show of my good faith.
if you want a set of EMGs that actually changed a bit with what guitar you have it in, you need a passive set, like the hetfield set, the actives sound the same no matter what :P
The Het Set is a blend of active and passive and still require a battery. 😂
me engana q eu gosto
i feel that the size of his hand and length of his fingers gives him a major advantage to soloing..
hopefully
I picked up a used one in mint condition USA model, for $649 at Guitar Center.
bullshit
This is good video quality for a 2012 video.
