JIM ROOT ON DESIGNING HIS NEW SIGNATURE JAZZMASTER 

Hey all. Mail is slow due to Philadlephia's problems atm, so my content has slowed the last two days. Merely trying to put out something for you all to enjoy. Thanks

I love the fact that Jim even as a professional guitarist isnt afraid to admit that he’s still learning on guitar and there’s still things that he doesn’t know about this instrument even though he’s played it for years. He’s a great guitarist and it’s still plenty of technical techniques that he doesn’t know yet but that definitely didn’t hinder his success at all, that’s motivating. Plus the guys just incredibly humble

I’m almost sure I have seen this one already, but I’m re watching it

He seems so down to earth.

Man you are living the dream. I will absolutely buy every signature he releases.

Jim Root is just an awesome human being.

man this is way better and more genuine that most premier guitar rundowns. the fact that jim actually knew who you were, reached out to you, and actually wanted to chat with you, not just letting you talk to his tech, really makes a big difference from being told by a manager that there's a journalist there to talk to or something. also he offered to let you pay his rig! must have been an amazing day

Jim is so damn cool!! Awesome you got to spend the time with him and get to check out his rig and guitars!!

Love this video Jim Root is the man such a wonderful human being he’s a guitar player who should get mor praise than he does thank you Ray for this video you rock man

“Fender Custom Shop Jim Root Telecaster Relic”

Jim is such a laid back none typical rock star.. comes across very approachable

Love this video!! Awesome rig rundown! Beautiful guitars! Congratulations for getting that opportunity to hang with Jim that day!!🤘🎸🎛

0:02 - Look at that bearded excited little boy looking at all the Jazzmasters.

Dude, I loved the rundown you did with Jim. Jim & Mick were a huge influence on my guitar playing.

Just here to post how I won his signature Jazzmaster in a Frët12 giveaway a few years ago. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I love how the majority of proper metal players disdain the custom-shop flummery and go for off-the-shelf stuff... Like Tom Araya passing up an ESP custom-shop bass in favour of the LTD one, and our man Jim here. My attitude is rooted (pun intended) in this philosophy. FX, for example. 1) if you cant do it with BOSS, you cant do it 2) Why WOULDN'T you do it with a pedal you can get in any shop in the world, rather than have your tone dependant on some obscure boutique pricey nonsense? Love Jim Root, love his music, his attitude. And this is a great channel; SUBBED

I still can't believe this happened to you, man. Is Amazing

Ask my boy Jim if I can have that sandblasted Jazzmaster. Love it!!!

Jim appears to be a down to earth guy. Very cool video!

I think I’ve watched this video 6 times now.

I'm sure I've said it before Ray, but you're a natural in an interview setting. This was great!

great interview. this was amazing. awesome video man

Ray, great work man. I know this is a geek out moment for you but you deserve it for your super positive attitude. Enjoy

I’ll rewatch my friend. Great job getting the interview dude 🤘🤘🤘

I just got one of these a week ago, they're absolutely unreal.

Stay Metal Ray! 🤘🏼

I wish he would put the red and black jazzmaster up for sale as a signature. That thing is so beautiful that the first time I saw it, I immediately checked to see if I could buy one lol

Tempted to hit the like button but must keep the sacred number intact!

Really good interview.

Its awesome to see that within an hour of an upload there is no dislike

I love you jim root😊😊🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤❤

I loved his black guitars. and his sandblasted red/black jazzmaster was iconic. i pair it up there with HI=ADS silverburst ibanez from his 98 run of family values

I want a white one with a Floyd. Jim is super humble 🤘🏻

I ordered one last week. They say it should be ready in 4 weeks. I can’t wait!

EMG Retroactive hot 70s pickups are amazing! They're not the Jim Root sig pickups, but close enough. Best of both worlds.

Cool video Ray, Jim's a cool dude that really loves his gear..

This is Amazing! 🤘🏼

This is still really awesome man!

You can tell his arms aching holding that mic 😂

Jim and I have same birthday... when my band playes Des Moines, I always tell the crowd that him and I are cousins. Yes, I am a jackass. Have a great day, everybody!

My squier Jim Root Telecaster is awesome. It has a black winter Duncan that I installed...and locking Tuners.

Wasn't this in your video where you got to play his gear?

Makes me feel better that one of my favorite guitar players is also not as well versed on learning guitar and music theory,

Oh hell yes brother.

Amazing guitar man. Happy 🎃

So much hope for 2020 and we did not know Covid would hit 🙃🙃🙃🙃

The jazz master 👍

Do you have any news about the sandblasted jazzmasters? Ive been dying to get my hands on one. I even got a black jazzmaster while I’m waiting 😅

about 15 mins into the video, jim root now holding the mic and has hijacked the show hahahahha

Great!

I really wanna get a set of Jim's Emgs In my Schecter diamond series c-1 elite

Im waiting for cheaper version :< i love this guitar but its a bit too expensive for me

Big headstock all day.

How did you guys meet?

hey ray just a question but do you think youd like the harley benton ex-84,sc-1000,& other models and if so what are your favorites thank you for your time.also stay sic

Ive just ordered one, can i afford it? Mehh... does it really matter? Im not going to do anything else than playing it anyways! The fuck will i need money for :D cant fucking wait!

First like and comment

what brand of guitar strap is this ?

Jim root and his guitar with the same shape as a jazzmaster

This is Jim's Clark Kent disguise. The masks and the get ups take 20 years off the guys. Lol.

Is it just me or is Jim root just Robert downy jr I he was in a metal band

old video? reupload?

Nitro all the way!!

Jim root doesn’t use custom shop guitars!

Don't care for slipknot too much...they got big when I was in middle school and every metal punk or scenster and there cat loved slipknot so me think I was all punk wasn't about to jump on a bandwagon...that being said I have his mim tele and holy friggin shit. My neighbor/family friend has a usa tele which hasn't ever been played and I was shocked to find the quality on the mim tele seemed just as good. This was my 1st opinion but I took it to my luthier(lol he's old af) and he said the same thing. He also told me buying a usa strat is so dumb. Just get a mim and take it to som1 like him.

Not a fan of his guitars, the guitar size for shorter people is to big imo.

How many times can you re cut the same footage for new videos?

a Repent vedio?
