While Root has used a number of amps throughout his career, in 2008 he switched to Orange amps and they have been his main amps ever since. Although it doesn’t have active pickups, the Squier Affinity Telecaster is also a great budget option. Squier also has a few similar, budget-friendly, guitars Like the Squier Contemporary Jazzmaster which has active EMG-like pickups. It also has an ebony fretboard and EMG active pickups like his signature Tele. ![]() He also plays a signature Fender Jazzmaster. ![]() It is fairly similar to a standard Tele, with the notable differences being its ebony fretboard and its two EMG active pickups instead of single coils. His main guitar is his signature Fender Telecaster. These guitars aren’t really associated with such a modern metal sound, but rather softer genres like country, blues, and jazz. Specifically, he plays Teles and Jazzmasters. Because of the heavy sound of his band, Slipknot, you might expect him to play Ibanez, Jackson, or something similar.īut instead, Root plays predominantly with Fender guitars. The most interesting part of Jim Root’s entire rig is perhaps his choice of guitars.
