Hall of Fame: 2011 Squier Jim Root Signature Telecaster Electric Guitar in Flat Black

Vincent Barras

The Fender Jim Root Telecaster in Flat Black delivers a stripped-back, high-output take on a classic design, built for precision, aggression and modern heavy tones. Featuring a sleek satin finish, rosewood fingerboard and powerful humbuckers, it offers tight low-end response and articulate clarity suited to drop tunings and high-gain playing.

This model is significant as part of Fender’s evolution into modern metal-focused instruments, designed in collaboration with Slipknot’s Jim Root to push the Telecaster platform far beyond its traditional roots.
