Fender has debuted its new Jim Root Jazzmaster V4 guitar.
The company's latest collaboration with the Slipknot guitarist, the Jim Root Jazzmaster V4 features EMG Jim Root Signature Daemonum open-coil active humbucking pickups and a 12” radius ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets, for easy shredding.
Notably, the guitar's minimalist look means that usual Jazzmaster features - such as a vibrato, rhythm circuit and tone control - are absent. The guitar has a mahogany slab body and a “C”-shaped maple neck with a bound ebony fingerboard and pearloid block inlays.
Elsewhere, the guitar is built with locking tuners, a volume control, a 3-way switch and a hardtail bridge.
The Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster V4 is available now - in a Polar White satin finish - for $1,399.99.
