For heavy, molten metal riffage, the Jim Root Jazzmaster V4 delivers crushing detuned tone with a bold new look. We worked closely with the towering Slipknot guitarist to create a brutal-sounding signature Jazzmaster model that complements his heavy playing style—right down to its signature Daemonum™ open-coil EMG active pickups, shred-worthy 12” radius fingerboard with jumbo frets, sparse control layout and more.
The Jim Root Jazzmaster II dispenses with frivolities such as a vibrato, rhythm circuit, tone control – only crucial essentials remain: a volume control, a 3-way switch and a hardtail bridge, making this guitar a single-purpose weapon of mass destruction. Featuring a mahogany slab body for crushing lows and mids, brilliant Polar White satin finish, maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard and pearloid block inlays, this devastating machine delivers brutal tone with a striking new look.

Jim Root Jazzmaster V4, Ebony Fingerboard, Flat White
MAHOGANY BODY WITH SATIN FINISH
Mahogany is a warm sounding wood with smooth mids and sweet highs. The satin finish is a stylish touch offering a muted matte appearance versus the glassy sheen of conventional gloss finishes.
JIM ROOT SIGNATURE EMG ACTIVE HUMBUCKING PICKUPS
For a decidedly non-traditional design and configuration, the crushing tone of the Jim Root Jazzmaster is produced by a fearsome pair of EMG Jim Root Signature Daemonum open-coil active humbucking pickups.
EBONY FINGERBOARD
The Jim Root Jazzmaster V4 offers a darkly alluring ebony fingerboard for smooth performance and a touch of elegance.
12" FINGERBOARD RADIUS
At 12", the fingerboard radius is substantially flatter than either a vintage-style 7.25" radius or a modern 9.5" radius, and is great for bending notes without fretting out.
LOCKING TUNERS
Locking tuners offer increased tuning stability and make changing strings substantially faster and easier than conventional tuners.
JUMBO FRETS
Jumbo frets are tall and wide, enabling more control for bending and vibrato.
