Crushing Rock Tones from a Mahogany-bodied Strat!

Built for tones that are so huge they have their own time zones, the Jim Root Stratocaster has everything you need to be a rock master! The body is mahogany, offering up tones that are decidedly thicker than a traditional Strat. Couple that tonal girth with the combination of EMG 81 and EMG 60 pickups and you have a stunning display of hard rock power that will rattle the rafters! For effortless trips up and down the neck, the Jim Root Strat boasts a compound radius neck with either a maple fingerboard (on the Flat White finish) or an ebony fingerboard (Flat Black finish). Call today and get you hands on this very cool Strat!

High quality guitar!

This is my first time owning a Strat and also buying from Sweetwater. The guitar is as good as I could have dreamed. The neck is thicker than what I'm used to, but I quickly became a fan of it. Mine is around 8 and a half pounds but it's balanced nicely. I had mine set up for Drop B with 11-56 Dunlop strings and they did a great job setting it up and making it play like butter. The case it comes in is also of high quality. Overall, I think the price tag is well justified. This money for a USA guitar is a steal in my opinion.
by Preston Singer from Bogue, Kansas on

Oh yeah. Simplicity. :)

Wanna give a shout out first to my service rep, Daniel Moore. Been with Sweetwater quite a while now and their customer service is just the best. Not only did he call me to get the correct tuning and have it setup the way I wanted (in drop B, low action), but called back to let me know that that one that'd chosen had a warped neck and they'd take care of it. Thank you, Daniel.
On to the guitar itself: just simplified and a beauty to play. Love the larger headstock and locking tuners. The case is amazing as well. Just a happy camper.

Best strat for metal

Thank you Alden D for the best customer service!

Amazing!

I'm blown away at the quality of this guitar. It's lightweight, feels perfect in my hands, looks absolutely gorgeous and sounds amazing. This is easily the best guitar I've owned.
by Josiah Denny from PENDLETON, IN on

Overall great experience!

I had no doubt the guitar itself would be great. I'd played the model a few times before and have always had good experiences with Fender and Squire wether U.S. made or MIM.
Out of the box the setup was near perfect (by my standards anyway) with just some very minor adjustments to intonation needed. It's a great instrument. It's tonal versatility is lesser than your typical Strat but if you're considering buying one you already know that.
This was my first order with Sweetwater and I was blown away by their customer service. Luke contacted me by phone, text, and email with order status, tracking, etc. At no time was I wondering what the status of the order was. I continue to be impressed and will likely only ever purchase online from Sweetwater in the future.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
