HUMBUCKING PICKUPS WITH BLACK COVERS
HUMBUCKING PICKUPS WITH BLACK COVERS

These humbucking pickups feature sleek black covers for a distinctive look.

BLACK HARDWARE

In a pleasingly malevolent touch, the sparsely appointed Jim Root Tele features an all-black bridge, controls, bridge pickup bezel, tuners, strap buttons and more.

12"-RADIUS ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD
12"-RADIUS ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD

This instrument features a fingerboard radius (the amount of curvature across the width of the fingerboard) that, at 12", is substantially more flattened than both a vintage-style 7.25" radius and a modern 9.5" radius. Feels notably flat even though there’s still slight curvature—great for bending notes without fretting out.

SATIN MATTE FINISH
SATIN MATTE FINISH

The satin finish on this model is a smooth and stylish touch, offering a muted matte finish appearance versus the glassy sheen of conventional gloss finishes.

VINTAGE-STYLE HARDTAIL BRIDGE
VINTAGE-STYLE HARDTAIL BRIDGE

This model features a hardtail bridge, rather than the classic tremolo, engineered for enhanced tuning stability and sustain. This design element also hearkens back to the early- to mid-'70s when hardtail guitars surged in popularity again.

MODERN NECK WITH "C"-SHAPED PROFILE
MODERN NECK WITH "C"-SHAPED PROFILE

This instrument features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a contemporary "C"-shaped profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) and a smooth back finish—ideal for those who play with the thumb on the back or side of the neck.
