The prototype originally made for Jim came with the 1970s style Stratocaster headstock, which Root had shaved down to a standard Telecaster shape.

The guitar build includes a mahogany body and EMG 81/60 Humbucker Pickups.

Root has previously used Jackson, Charvel, PRS and Maverick guitars.

The guitar has a mahogany body, a nitro-lacquer finish, dual humbuckers, a single master volume, an ebony fingerboard and a 12" neck radius.

The guitar comes with a SKB molded case with a blood red plush interior.

More recently they have released a Squier version of the Telecaster with passive solid-covered humbuckers.

The Jim Root Telecaster is a slab Mahogany body that is not fully contoured.
