The Fender Jim Root Telecaster is James Root's signature model Telecaster. In January 2010, a Jim Root Signature Fender Stratocaster was unveiled on the Fender website, similar to the one he has been seen using on stage, as of March 2009. The difference being the headstock. The prototype originally made for Jim came with the 70's style Strat headstock. Root got it shaved down to a standard Telecaster shape. This made the Fender Telecaster logo go to the very edge of the headstock.
