I'd heard of the Jim Root tele but not the Jim Root strat

Is this just a gimmick or does he actually play one:



Not keen on the EMGs, blank neck, compound radius, black hardware, double HB appearance and single volume knob but other than that it's fine.
I think I hate being indecisive.

Not sure if he plays one with two EMG humbuckers but I know he does own a Strat.

I saw Stone Sour in 2007 and I saw a strat in amongst all of his gear, although he never played it live, I suspect he just uses them as back up guitars.

I think he does use them, but I don't think as much as his Tele's

Yep, same with the Tele's. Very small routes too so there's a lot of mahogany. The sustain is incredible
