THE HOLY ONE……

This guitar is a total workhorse, I have 7 guitars in my studio. Got this, haven't played any of them since. I don't play metal. An astonishing instrument that I will never sell, many tones available. Thanks Delvin, as always for the help!
Excellent Guitar

The excitement I had for this guitar was unmatched. Then I got it. I was immediately disappointed with two things. The volume knob feels very cheap. There is a lot of movement back and forth when adjusting the volume. The nut was hardly filed at all. The strings were popping off whenever I would play anything. I contacted Sweetwater and they handled the situation beautifully. I… read more sent the guitar back for a professional setup. I also sent thicker strings (the ones Jim uses) to be put on the guitar. The guitar tech filed the nut for the thicker strings and adjusted the guitar for drop B tuning. This guitar plays perfectly now. The Daemonum pickups are very different sounding than normal EMGs. I prefer 81/85 EMGs because I like the sound they produce. These Daemonum pickups are a beast of their own.
Classy Metal Monster…like the man who created it…

What can I say…this guitar is effing sweet. I hate glossy/shiny finishes for one…and this one has a "matte finish" feel to it that is perfect. The neck is a little thicker than I normally go for and the jumbo frets gold more than enough space for even the biggest of fingers. Now those pickups…holy $&@$… at first I wasn't sure how I felt about them… but after playing for… read more a couple days…it was like they had a warm up period…then all of a sudden you get full on brutality when wide open…but roll back the volume and they become a warm glassy tone that just sounds beautiful. I'm mainly a bridge pickup player but I find myself switching often from the two. Tuning stability is impeccable with the fender locking tuners. My only nitpicking complaint is that the nut is filed a little small for heavier strings (I use Ernie ball power slinky 11s). I use a fret wrap which fixes that issue until I get my luthier to file it for me. All and all this is the best playing/sounding guitar I've ever owned. Highly recommend you get yourself some Jim root flavor and hit add to cart on this one…you won't regret it.

This guitar is awesome!!!!! the new EMG's are great. not your typical EMG sound.. alot more "open". Defenitely different. Im using it with a mesa mark IV, JVM 410, JMP-1/9200, and the fortin cali suite plug in. This guitar sounds good through any of these amps. even the plug in. My sales rep Albeto Perez is great. Took care of everything perfectly. Thanks!!!! Love this guitar!!!

I pre-ordered this guitar when it hit the site. My rep Ryan Wiltermood was on it and was able to ship it out as soon they were in stock. This guitar absolutely kicks ***. The signature Root EMGs are well rounded and cover a wide range of styles. It's just a classy beast of a guitar.
