The Jim Root Stratocaster® in Flat Black is a no-nonsense powerhouse designed for aggressive, detuned styles. Crafted in collaboration with Slipknot’s formidable guitarist, this stripped-down Strat® merges minimalistic aesthetics with maximum sonic impact, making it a perfect choice for crushing riffs and searing leads.
Featuring a mahogany body with sharp edges and a sleek Modern "C" neck profile, this guitar prioritizes comfort and durability. Its compound-radius ebony fingerboard (12" to 16") ensures smooth transitions between riffing and shredding, while jumbo frets and subtle side-dot inlays keep things precise and uncluttered. A pair of EMG® active humbuckers—60 at the neck and 81 at the bridge—deliver a high-output sound with crushing lows and razor-sharp clarity. With a single volume knob, three-way switch, and hardtail bridge, the Jim Root Stratocaster is a streamlined machine built for heavy-duty performance.
