- You guys voted for this one on Twitter, and honestly I'm really surprised I like it this much. The Fender Jim Root Signature Jazzmaster is a metal-fied take on a classic shape and it is just awesome. The minimalistic flat black look with brushed chrome EMGs, the low-action, the ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets, all of it just works so well together. It has to be one of my favorite guitars that I've demoed. Returning this one to Sam Ash was pretty sad. And OMGROFLBBQ I played a solo in this one.

Fender Jim Root Jazzmaster Demo || How Is This Guitar Not More Popular??

Jim Root is a class act, all his signature stuff is fucking awesome
Even his Squier models are fucking sic(k)
A metal-fied Jazzmaster? How cool is this thing?!
For my European friends who have been asking, you can get the Jim Root Jazzmaster here: bit.ly/2zhGrMG
And for my fellow Americans: bit.ly/2ore7z7
Have you ever done (or ever considered) doing comparisons for guitars? They seem so subjective to me, and there doesn't seem be a way to understand the way they feel from RUclips - but maybe if you played this guitar back to back with a standard or known guitar? Like and A/B switch from this guitar to a well known Epi?.. just thinking out loud (er, in text)
+Nothing Lion Interesting idea, though I'm not really sure how it helps solve your "feel" problem
great demo! and your exit from the solo was perfect!
Agufish remember trying this thing when it first came to my local guitar store, it just instantly reminded me how amazing fender guitars are. I mean this thing is a monster tone wise, I don't have to tell you that though!
Agufish, is there a vol/tone concentric potentiometer that would ease your compliant with a limited mod
I love the fact that this guitar isn‘t just a metal guitar as you can see in the demo video of Jim himself on the Fender RUclips chanel. This Jazzmaster has a very smooth even jazzy clean sound too. Its just perfect
Now you should review the Jim Root telecaster!!
wow man ive been following you since the beginning and it is awesome watching you grow and improve. your material is amazing and i loved the solo. easily my favorite demo youve done. keep it up bro.
thanks for sticking around man :)
Went from fluffs basic riffs not hearing the guitars full potential to this!! Thank you. I was thinking of buying it and now I am
With ebony fret boards the more you play the smoother and blacker they get.
HabitualOffender007 thats why i LOVE ebony
nice demo dude! I feel like I've been searching for a proper demo for a while for this guitar.
+Paul Sayed yeah I'm really surprised there isn't more content on any of the Jim Root guitars. Honestly, I didn't think I'd like it at all and I love it.
Yeaaaaah! 👍emg pickups are great. Just look at how many famous players use them. Sounds great on recordings too
I absolutely love that a metal monster like that also has a really nice clean tone. The level of diversity in the tonal options is great.
EMGs are more versatile than most people give them credit for... the Internet has some sort of crusade against them lol.
Agufish Definitely. I think there's also a lot of people who just don't know how to properly dial in a tone with them.
Criticizing ebony fretboards as not being uniform in darkness should be a thing of the past. I recommend that you go watch some videos about ebony and how it is obtained for guitars.....Bob Taylor interviews on the topic would be a good place to start.
+blackfrancis55 thanks. About 83737262 people linked me to that video the day this went up. I am now more informed lol
4:20 he made us look
Dammit! Every time you demo one of these guitars I'm like "I'm going to make that my next guitar!"... and then you crank out another one of these and make me want to get this guitar. Keep up the good work! I've been spreading your channel around, bro. I hope it increases your subs. You deserve it.
Lol, sorry not sorry? And thanks for the support man, it really means a lot :)
Are you son of Idubbbz and Stevie T?
I knew I wasn't the only one who thought he resembled Steve.
Rafael Gutierrez when I first clicked on the video I thought it was Stevie T
HAHAHAAHAHAJAJ
So sick! Because of this review I had to buy this amazing guitar! Thanks agufish! Keep up the great reviews!
hater trolls man. this guys is well spoken fast and to the point and seems like honest reviews. what more cud u want when checking out gear your curious about.
Thanks for all the close shots ! I just ordered one without trying it. I only tried the Strat version which have the same specs except for the body. I’ve been watching this videos almost everyday since last week cause it’s kind of the closest I can be to the guitar 😂 nice review and thanks for all the detailed infos 🤘🏼 will let you know how I like it when I get it. Keep rockin and yes, I subscribed ! :) great videos ! From Quebec,Canada
So, how was the guitar? Give us the 5-year review!!!
the Metalmaster come on fender make this guitar in budget friendly squire form
There used to be the HH affinity JM.
I have one and I love it
Should be called the METALmaster
+Dhruv Kotecha should be... And in all caps too lol
Agufish Could you please do some jackson guitars
Possibly. Was never really a fan of Jackson, but after playing this Fender my mind is more open haha!
Go for the new mick Thompson or coreys from trivium :)
WOW! THAT IS SUCH INTUITIVE THINKING!!!111
Love this guitar!!! Never thought I would want something like that man!! Thanks for the awesome reviews!!
Good Lord it's just so brutal. I was not expecting that clean sound too.
\m/ !!
You make great videos. Really like the tones you got for the Jazzmaster as well.
This really is an awesome channel. Your playing is great, the video quality is fantastic too. I'm subbed as fuark
Damn dude. I really liked that demo song. Good work!
Hunter, nice meeting you at NAMM man! Keep up the great work!
Ebony is never uniformly dark. Much of it is swirly mocha colors. Then, when they build the neck, they use ebony stain to make it more uniform. With the eradication of much of the ebony trees in the world it's becoming more difficult to source "uniform" ebony. Sometimes whole trees will be scrapped because people have come to associate ebony wood with being solid black and don't want blended ebony and the tree becomes useless. Or they will clear a path through hundreds of trees to get to the good tree rendering the others they just knocked down useless.
Taylor guitars has a pretty cool documentary (on YT) on how they source (and use to source) ebony and how the wood effects the trade.
Blended ebony looks pretty cool, IMO. My Big Baby Taylor has a blended ebony fretboard and it's very beautiful. I wouldn't "fret" too much about the uniformity of the ebony. Embrace it!
I read about EMG before I own one. So many bad comment for that brand. After I own a guitar with EMG 81-85, I don't think it's a bad pickup. It sounds incredible with distortion and quite good for clean. The only drawback is I can't get a good overdrive sound from it.
I normally play an epiphone les Paul custom pro but I’m very interested in the Jim root signature. Thank you for this video.
I've been waiting the whole week for this demo. FYI You made me buy the ltd bk600. Hope you're happy.
+Jinhong hahaha! Looks like the professional unboxing hype worked. And about the BK-600, you're welcome? :D
Does the feel and sound is similar to the Telecaster Jim Root? Or both guitars are completly different?
Is anyone else bothered by the volume knob placement. I get why JIm wants it there. But I'd be bumpin that thing all the time. Other than that, that thing is sweet.
P.S. once again, chops are on point brother. Keep up the great work.
Two years later but, yup! It is pretty annoying on the tele.
Oh big time dude. Telecaster has the same problem for me 🤣
Hunter great riffage. I love the solo section. Keep making videos.
I can't wait to hear you demo the 2020 JR Jazzmaster.
I ditched Fender and Gibby's years ago but played some cat's Root Tele one night and was ordering it that weekend. It is absolutely my favorite guitar to play and the quality is fantastic. Sold a Nuno N27 and an EC1000 to help ease the sting. I would have never paid 1000 for a MIM guitar much less a TELE, if I had not played one already. The impression it left on me lingered for days until I pulled the trigger and haven't even slightly regretted it. And not to mention the case that comes with it that is a very beautiful one at that. The EC's are great guitars but there is no comparison between the two. Now any other Fender "other than the iconics such as the SRV or Eric Johnson", they have all really dropped in quality. And dont get me started on the mid range Gibby's. I know not everyone will agree but if your on the fence about these Root models, I can vouch for the Tele....
Bro you have such killer videos!!!! Subscribed!!
I thought during the slow breakdown solo part of the song, the clean and solo tones sounded exactly like the tones from Master of Puppets. Awesome!
Bro! The intro song is so fucking sick! That riff!!!!
I own the Jim Root Jazzmaster, Strat and Tele. Really love their tone. I did swap out the pickups on the Strat to BKP's but actually really enjoyed the EMG's and I'm a huge passive guy and Les Paul lover. I highly recommend them. Nice work reviewing as always.
Gah so jealous dude. How are the other two compared to the Jazzmaster in terms of feel?
I keep the Jazzmaster tuned in C, the Tele in Db with EMG 57/66 and the Strat with BKP Mule/Nailbomb in Eb. So all different sounds. The Jazzmaster is probably my favourite in terms of tone. The Strat has always sounded really natural and Tele has a sharper sound. Feel is similar I reckon.
Honestly with how much I loved the Jazzmaster I might end up buying the Tele if they feel similar and I can find a good deal on a used one. Thanks for the insight dude :)
Agufish the JR Jazz and Strat are made in the US but the Tele is made in Mexico. So you could argue a slight difference in feel and build quality but I think they're do great. I say get one man!
@@Melonos if you are to own one of Jim’s signature which one would it be? In terms of playability. Thank you.
Nice guitar and I enjoyed your playing. The case opening bit was funny :D
I bought the White mexican version because it has the EMG Jim Root Daemonum Set. Totally worth it. They sound great and I also prefer that the mexican version has block inlays. Plus you don't need the tone knob. The single knob is super responsive
Excellent review!!!!Thanks🙌
So, Hunter, you are a metal guy, and like active pickups, which means you like dead silence. Did you ever think about trying Lace Sensor? they are very quiet, and the red Lace Sensor is defiantly a metal high out put pickups. Also you can try the dually red as well!
AGUFISH I just ordered this guitar with ernie ball mammoth slinkys 12-62. Will they fit in the tuners?
Oof, I’m not sure. That’s a hefty gauge. Cody from Wage War probably uses a similar gauge, but he might have had to drill them out a bit since Fender tuners aren’t usually tasked with massive strings. Let me know how it goes, I’m pretty curious
Not going to lie I’ve watched your channel for quite some time now and I gotta say this is the first video EVER to make me like the sound of emgs! I personally only love the sound of passive pickups but this video actually change my mind about emg pickups thank you. Anyways big fender fan any chance you would cover a video of fender mustang the shell pink with a pau Ferro fretboard? It’s a nice small body with a short scale neck with two single coil pickups and a hardtail bridge. Also if you had to choose between a Jim root jazzmaster or the Epiphone Matt heafy snowfall 7 string, which would you choose?
Excellent song, and brutal riff!!
Thanks dude!
Kick ass song man, I play this song all the time for the riff...
Hey man just subscribed!! you make great videos. Rock on!!
I play a jazzmaster in a doom style. Works great. Love it.
FYI, most ebony is actually not uniformly colored and has brown streaks through it. Most ebony used for fretboards is dyed black.
Great Channel man I know you gnna keep rocking out he subs, guitars and musical equipment etc music related.
Appreciate the support man! \m/
that solo thO ! f-ing sick!
Nice review, never had a interest in a JazzMaster until now.
the tune your playing is so metal
If you all want a much cheaper option, check out the Charvel SK models. Same shape, active emgs, one volume knob, and one toggle switch. But a 3rd if not less of the price of this. One of my favorite guitars I own. Picked one up for 200 bucks used.
Love your demos!!!!!!
thnx bb :)
With the tuning....is the guitar primarily designed for drop B tuning ?
Jim plays it in drop B tuning, but does that restrict the gauge of strings you need to play that low.
And if you wind it up to standard tuning, how does it feel with a clean tone versus your normal Jazzmaster Fender glassy tone. It would be nice to hear the clean tones and what you think of them.
Sweet guitbox. Love the look, even the 'off' color headstock and the old school volume pot, the plastic pickup rings are the only thing that looks cheap. overall a 'less is more' style guitar that i dig.
The only issue I have with the Jim root series strat is the volume placing it's so god damn uncomfortable wish it was further back and out of the way .
Steven G. EXACTLY lol. .. Its so perfect otherwise :(
Ahh man...so I understand why it's where it is. It was designed specifically for Jim. But you guys know exactly how fucky it is. I'm always having to turn the volume back up lol. Telecaster that is...
I've got this guitar. Also had the tele but parted with it as it didn't live up to the jazzmaster. Great review bro! Should mention this is my only non- singlecut guitar in my collection. only issue i have with it is the neck needs constant adjustment which is a bit frustrating but it doesn't feel like any other guitar that I've ever played so definitely worth checking it out if your thinking about buying one.
Ah for real? I was interested in checking out the tele too. I've heard it felt similar to the Jazzmaster, just cheaper because it's made in Mexico and not the US.
Agufish it was still a great guitar, different feel in my opinion. Its a 12" radius as opposed to a compound on the jazz and very neck heavy when standing up. It sounded better but it just wasn't for me. I have friends that loved it and i totally get its appeal but i was wanting something else and decided the jazzmaster was tje one to keep. In saying that though i don't really play the jazzmaster much anymore. when i first got it i couldn't put it down but i guess I'm just more comfortable on a singlecut. I'd say if you like the jazzmaster you'll like the tele but it felt very different to me.
Favorite Guitar!! Just wish they'd sell the Jazzmaster that looks like petrified wood that he plays.
Yeah the red sandlblasted one?!?!?! I want it!
I kinda like it, and I wish Fender would bring back the flathead guitars!
That demo track was fuckin killer....
I have the Jim root jazz master coming this week
I'd have preferred a demo of the guitar as is, not in a produced track, maybe even some cleans to see what it's capable of. I'm planning on getting a Jazzmaster but I think I'll start with the Squier Affinity Jazzmaster HH and put some SD Black Winter in it for the ultimate metal guitar!
Question: I also have the Dual Rectifier. Which channel did you use for this demo. (Thanks for including the settings in the description.)
I have an jim root strat and it's a killer guitar!
Jesus christ... i am in love... and to think i just friggen bought a Gibson SG.... a well, it's my 1st Gibson... wanted to stray away from fender a little... but this is a potential next buy!
Great demo again, if it's available could you try out the new Jackson Marty Friedman Signature?
Not the most aesthetically pleasing to look at. But man this is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard.
Do you think the american ultra jazzmaster with it's new noisless pickups and the s1 switch can play metal?
jim root has 3 fucking signatures I love them all
Just got mine yesterday pretty cool guitar in my opinion.
+_Jeremy718 ahhh you actually own one? So jealous...
After your unboxing, I just had to get one lols
Oh my god you have to be joking lol...
Agufish I'm so serious bro lols Check out my IG 718_jeremy_305
Feels like me and Mr Root are the only ones playing Metal on Jazzmasters XD
In regards to pickups.. I would rather set out for a pickup combination that can give me a beautiful and rich clean sound, because the distorted sound you can always fiddle with in various ways. Seymour Duncan is the one to go with for me :)
My HSS strat has a SD Pearly Gates and two Texas Special pickups and I can literally play everything from Mark Knopfler to Mayhem on it :)
I don't get the same feeling with EMG as they seem to only point to the Metal genre. But hey, I respect those who like them :)
I have the Strat version what also seems to be kinda no popular. There are like no reviews out there and barely any videos using it. I swapped the 81/60 for a JH set. My fretboard is also not uniform black and I really like it that way! I like to see some grain!
havent checked this one out yet but I did get a used Fender JR Tele and one of his Strats as well. paid about $800 each. was nice to not pay full price considering how well kept they were used.
The jazz master of heavy metal
What were you playing at 2:10? Sounded absolutely amazing!
Killer riff...dug the solo at 2:20.. first Fender ive liked...
the Jazzmaster is my bae!! and Jim root is fucking amazing so this just fits so perfectly
awesome stuff! keep it up!
you play drop tuning with .009 - .042 string gauge?? How?
Just install it. Tada
Great review!! I like his other models but have been wanting this one bad. No pro just a I home player with a small collection. Best looking Jazzmaster. What will you do with her, are you gong to keep it?
If I had the money I would keep it in an instant. Besides my ESP Eclipse-II this is just about my favorite guitar that I've played.
my dream guitar
My only gripe is that while I understand why it's so minimalistic, it's way too minimalistic for it's own good. It's why I don't like the ESP Teles with the EMGs. That said, same with the ESP Teles, just adding a pickguard would turn that opinion on it's head, as I'm a big lover of how Jaguars and Jazzmasters look.
great channel great guitars great gear great songs great great great
and because of you i bought the brent hinds flying v thank you hhahahahahaha
lol you're very welcome my friend
Hey man, what tuning do you tend to use for these covers? or at least for this one in particular. Keep up the good work man, love these videos.
Covers? They're original songs bruh. For this one I'm using Drop Db, but I use everything from Drop D to Drop A, depending on what sounds best with the riffs.
Agufish Ah shit, I know damn well they aren't covers. That was my bad, used the wrong word. thanks for the reply brother!
Lol no problem man. :)
Hello mate, Which guitar do you prefer for slipknot song ? And why please ? :)
this guitar sounds great.
I have his strat, Just my fav guitar of all times :D
i bought the bk 600 now im gonna have to get this one as well...great lol awesome solo btw!
+James Parker lol oh no, you'll be the proud owner of two fucking awesome guitars? :P
Agufish oh dont get me wrong i would love to have both but my wallet would disagree. eventually..... eventually
Wow. Just wow.
Love your riffs and compositions. Any ideas for your own Album?
I HAD ONE AND I SOLD IT AND I CRY ABOUT IT EVERYDAY
I have the Jim Root Strat. I found it in a pawnshop for £350. I caught them slippin big time.
Jackon J usually i have no luck but on that day the sun shined on me. I also have the kurt cobain jaguar, but i had to pay full price for that
+Gary Darnell wtfff that is a deal and a half
Agufish now all i need to do is learn to play it as good as you
hey, man. I love Jim Root's models. good god! I specially dream of this baby right there. unrelated question: do you play in a band? I'm kinda curious to see what kind of music you make (apart from demo song). anyway, keep up the good work.
Hey dude! I don't play in a band anymore, but I recently did a demo of a 2017 Gibson SG Standard T where I re-did one of my old band's song with our singer for a full band demo mix: ruclips.net/video/nSJ56LU_Qc8/видео.html
Have you reviewed the ESP Jeff Hanneman guitar?
is it jumbo or extra jumbo fret wire?
i love this guitar and thank you from the help off this vidio...........btw you got a fan from norway:)
Love this guitar
what if this beautiful Jazzmaster equipped with Nocaster neck? Does it thicker at the 22 frets?
