Jim Root Fender Telecaster
What guitar do you most associate with heavy metal music? Ask 100 people that question and most probably wouldn’t say a Fender Telecaster.

USA Stratocaster Jim Root Artist Series
Jim Root is best known as the guitarist for Slipknot and Stone Sour. When he got the chance to design his own custom Stratocaster, he combined his love for Charvel and Jackson shredder style guitars with his two favorite guitars from Fender, the Flat Head series Telecaster and Showmaster.
Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster
No one could deny that Fender’s J Mascis Signature Jazzmaster was one snazzy-looking tone machine, but the $2,000 price tag felt kind of wrong. As a vintage Guitar World interview indicates, the Dinosaur Jr. frontman’s first Jazzmaster was a beat-up old pawnshop guitar. Shouldn’t his Fender signature guitar be just as affordable?

Greg Koch. Fender. Sweetwater.
Of all the things I’d seen at Sweetwater’s GearFest 11 one of the things that stood out the most to me was the performance of Greg Koch as he demonstrated Fender’s new line of Pawn Shop. This guy is so out there that not only is he off his rocker, but he smashes it to pieces while he rocks out, and that’s exactly what he did during his demonstration of Fender’s new line of Pawn Shop guitars through a Fender Super-Sonic Twin amp.
