His Jackson was a soloist. The main difference is Dinky’s have a bolt on neck, and Soloists have a thru-neck. The body shape is also a tiny bit different, and Dinky’s rarely have a string thru body
Dinkys are also slightly smaller as they’re 7/8ths the size of a strat or soloist.
Only dinkys that have a string through I know of are the C.O.W (Christian olde wolbers) signature and they are amazing, I have 2.
There are a few other Dinkys I’ve seen that were string thru also. The COW’s were pretty nice.
Jackson MG model (DKMGT) offered a string thru.
The weirdest thing is whether you're a Gibson guy or a Fender guy you always end up with at least one guitar from the opposing camp. It's so weird seeing Jim play Gibsons when he's primarily known as a Fender/Strat guy. I'm also a hardcore Fender guy but would love to own a Standard Gibson LP in Cherry Burst. That's one exception I'm willing to make. xD
Facts!
Watch Slipknot play The Heretic Anthem live at Belfort, Jim is playing the Jackson Warrior live
Thanks so much!
he also used a Fender Strat during the SF days. there's a picture out there of him playing it live. it's just a black strat with a white pick guard and single coils.
Sf?
@@bdb000x5 maybe he meant to type st for self titled
Gotcha. Probably
Soloist are neck thru , dinkys are bolt ons
I've seen pictures of him playing the jackson warrior in 2011 during the sonispher era. I think that's what he was talking about when he said he played it and it looked weird.
Heretic Anthem live at Belfort he plays the Warrior
That metal flake prs was nice. I remember wes Borland using one too at some point. Can’t find one anywhere.
Wes used PRS guitars on the Chocolate Starfish record. He's used a few brands over the years, he even had a signature model with Yamaha.
I’ve been hunting for this guitar for so long. Can’t find anywhere either. PRS needs to make more silver guitars!
@@pistonhedd wes tambien uso en ese disco ibanez
Man, I really enjoyed this and the Mick video, it’s cool to see stuff like this as a long time Slipknot fan. You should definitely expand this idea with other bands and guitarists!
honestly love the videos mate watched your gear rundown video as my first of yours and copped his white sig jazzmaster that day and haven’t looked back. Loved that vid and loved every one ever since (including the face melting shorts). Big love and thumbs up brother keep em coming.
Jim did also use PRS during his early Stone Sour days too
3:30 its actually a customshop model made for Jim. Theres a custom "root" inlay at the 12 fret. If you can find the picture of it hanging next to his coveralls you can see how utterly mangled the body is. It appears to have been either shot or gauged for aesthetics.
I’m such a big Jim Root fan and I love watching these kinds of videos. Keep up the awesome content Ray!
Thanks for the upload Ray! Maybe a "Wes Borland weirdest guitars video"? =D
I saw him use the Warrior on the Jager Tour in 2004 right before the release of Volune 3, he used Jacksons heavily on those early dates before he switched to using Fenders and Charvels
Man, I loved that Maverick JR4 guitar 🤘🏻
3:40 : I've also seen him playing it (dont know if it is the same or a different black assassin) live on that Voliminal: inside the 9 dvd. And it was also while playing Drop A.
I wish maverick wouldve stayed around a hair thinner than an ibanez wizard and were great for modding
Rare as shit now days.
I wish jim would've stayed with prs
3:16 that voice crack 😂love your content 🤘🏼❤
Leave it up to me to have voice cracks still in my 20’s 😂
@@xanderraymondcharles 😂
When I was 16 and Iowa came out, I wanted the matte black PRS. Loved that thing!
His PRS on the Diasterpiece DVD is my favorite guitar, he's played! If you watch the soundcheck part, it sounds 🖤😈👍😮😳! If you HAVEN'T watched the Disasterpiece DVD, you're missing out! One of the best live performances EVER recorded!!!
That guitar is so bad ass! Wish PRS would mass produce it.
@@Loki-sk7bi agree. Satin black, ebony board, EMG's, single volume knob. If I had a signature PRS, it would be based off that. But instead of bird enlays (I'm into zombies, resident evil etc) I want zombie inlays.
R.I.P joey.
I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw that PRS!!
Root with PRS? Woah! I didnt see that coming at all. Super cool
Brooo, you should do one for Brent Hinds. He always has badass guitars
Jim sometimes mostly used a Flying V live with stone sour in 2001 witch is weird because it was most likely he would use the prs every time
Damn I have been waiting for this since the mick Thomson video
Love these videos
Cool stuff. I had thought Mick Thompson had played an Ibanez, didn't know Jim did.
Jim was, just helping out Jonathan Davis in the studio. Mick was endorsed for about 13 years w/ Ibanez, but confessed his first choice was a Jackson King V.
That Jackson guitar at the end of the video, the one with the reverse headstock and the bolt-on neck looks just like the one that Josh Brainard, Jim’s predecessor in Slipknot, played when he was still in the band. I’ve seen footage of the band recording their first major label album at Indigo Ranch Studios in Malibu. And the first clip shows Josh playing a reverse headstock Jackson. The footage isn’t very good quality but it’s a piece of history. Definitely check that out. I’ve also seen pictures of him playing one live with the knot.
Hey have you ever seen a white telecaster Jim root used to play. Pretty cool guitar.
yes
Love your Iowa cover
How about the charvel he used in before I forget
Charvel’s are just amazing.
Hey Ray can you do a history of Jay Yuenger's guitars from white zombie please
That looks to be a custom RG2228. Pretty sick!
Maverick was cutting it EXTREMELY close with that Ibanez inspired headstock
and RG body shape
I liked the look of his PRS
Agreed. As cool as the typical PRS bird inlays and maple tops are, I love a stripped-down, no-nonsense workhorse guitar too.
@@GhostlanderX simplicity always win
I still have this dvd remember his prs and bc rich
Pretty sure he was playing heretic anthem when using that BC rich.
The black flathead telecaster around 2004-5 was sick
Yeah the maverick was another weird deal
He only played it a couple of times live when you said.
He was in ad's for them in UK guitar magazine's at the time
They were made in Korea
yea there was very few made and theyve now been sold secondhand for as low as $200
The bc rich assassin was also used in reading 2002. During the song my plague you can see it beat to shit. I dont know if thats a paint job or what but it looks battered
We gotta get Ray go 69,420 subs guys!
His Iowa PRS is my dream guitar. 🤘🏻
His Pete Townsend is my fave that n silver burst flying V
Rip Joey
Wasn’t his bc rich assassin a baritone?
That was in fact a BCR assassin. Jim was offered an endorsement at the same time Mick was back in the day under Rico senior,but the story is, Jim was a bit impatient about how long it took BCR’s custom shop to produce guitars when jr took over after his dad died, so Bernie Rico jr dropped his endorsement.
I'm so used to seeing Jim play Fender most of these guitars look odd with him. He's also a tall guy so the V looked like a toy.
Was think he also played a white Charvel at one point.
He used a few Charvels before getting a sig model with Fender
The Jackson warrior from memory was the vol 3 era.
Alex is the ex orange rep, he’s now repping victory and origin effects
there is a picture with jim in ahig era with his black tele... WITH FLOYD!
I forgot that one! Nooooooooooo ughhhh haha i know the exact one you’re talking about. I think it’s Vol3 but yeah ugh my bad
@@xanderraymondcharles nah it was his signature tele but with floyd, sick video btw!
@@str.1913 well i stand corrected \m/
I always thought the b.c rich assassin was a jackson soloist or a dinky
happy you talked about that bc rich assassin
Bought a Mick warlock yesterday
The proper BC Rich NJ Series one w/ HATE on the fretboard, or the glorified Bronze series 'Signature special'?
The St Vincent is probably vmans as he is a gear nut and his name is Alex as well.
Joey jordison just passed away
One of Jim's Iowa guitars is a prs guitar
Waiting patiently for AJ
Who?
House of masks @Stay Metal Ray
Jim used a sunburst strat in 03/04 with both Slipknot and Stone Sour. It can be seen in a video from the houdini recording in which he, Mick and Joey jam Vermillion. He used it with SS on tour, for example the rock am ring 03 appearance which is also up here on RUclips. Don't know what model it is. It's a sunburst model with maple neck and EMGs. Looks killer!

The bc rich he played is actually micks.
Still think his Kramer striker is weird
Dude James root is my favorite guitar
Jackson's are great kinda funny when there the best necks for the bargain or expensive versions my hells my hells get a Jackson an ESP is a generic Jackson lol just the truth!!
Jim Root = 🤘🏼❤️
This might not be the craziest guitar he used seeing as he is a Fender fan but when they played in detroit 1999 jim used a strat looking guitar and not one of his Jackson's (wich he usally would play back then) here a link to that show: ruclips.net/video/kVFaLsub94Q/видео.html should be around 39 23
Here’s what I know about James’ guitars: they are cool.
ruclips.net/video/TvgHkai_QN8/видео.html 13:29 jackson warriors
I’m on the hunt for the live footage from 2019
All the numetal guys play prs guitars I guess
It was a thing back in the early 2000’s I guess haha. Brad Deleon, jim, tremonti
Drop-tuned through Mesa Rectifiers of course.
@@GhostlanderX as you do
I feel like Mick Thomson should’ve kept the BC Rich Warlock. That thing is fucking awesome!!! Also great video discussing Jim’s weird guitars!
I had one. They look incredible, but it was a terrible guitar. Mick even said in an interview that he left BC Rich because their quality went way downhill. I hear they are better now, so maybe he’ll go back some day.
OK?
Ok
The only decent slipknot member left
What's up with the others?
@@jack_6955 they suck
Jim root looks like a hipster
