Jim Root Telecaster and Jackson RR24M

These are not my guitars! They belong to my new bandmate Brett. He was kind enough to let me play them. I must say he has impeccable taste in axes, because both of these guitars are amazing!

I bought myself a Boss RC-2 Loop Station about a week ago so I used that for the backing drums and to loop the riffs I played for harmonies and rhythm. So much fun!

Honestly, which guitar do you think is better?

[Invin]

@Guitargawd13

If I could have either one, I'd take the Jackson. I just love the neck on it.

[08Wylde]

Whats the name of the first thing you play?

[Invin]

@08Wylde It was just an improv thing I was messing around with at the time.

hey i have a question will i get a J.R. Tele sound if I put EMG's on a JACKSON JS30DK?:)

[Invin]

@ToSeArNaUdOvSkI

Pretty much anything with an EMG 81 in it will sound close. You may need to tweak your amp a bit but you'll get the same basic high gain sound.

is the rr24m good for death metal?

[fenderJRtelecaster]

also apart from the EMG 81/60, the mahogany body/maple neck combination adds more thickness/heaviness to the sound...the EMG 60 at the neck's very heavy sound-wise

amazing guitar (personal opinion> The Best) :)

what the riff at 1:14 - 1:53

@gimmethat619

i had it done proffesionally. obviously i had to buy the pick up. but if i remember correctly, hving him carve open the spot in my guitar and setting up the wiring and everything costed about 80 bucks

[gimmethat619]

@80smetalchild That's cool. Did you have it done professionally or by yourself? if done professionally, how much did it cost? if you don't mind me asking

[80smetalchild]

@gimmethat619

haha i bought the guitar like over a year ago. YES it is amazing for death metal. i carved a spot so i could install an emg 85 neck pickup. now its wonderful for riffage and leads alike. the neck pickup opens up a warmer tone it was missing.

[gimmethat619]

@80smetalchild Well, incase nobody's answered you yet, any solid body guitar with an EMG 81 will be good for death metal, or any other kind of metal.

my only thing, why a Jim Root Telecaster? I'll admit, I wanted one when I first started seeing them too, but then I started really thinking about what I was looking for, & my list did NOT have room for a Neck w/ a Rosewood Fretboard, & for what that actually is (a 2-Humbucker guitar w/ no middle pickup, he might as well just go the full-9 & get a Gibson Les Paul Gothic & load THAT with the active pickups (an EMG-81 & an EMG-60) or BETTER YET, get a Gibson Black Beauty HHH & go EMG 81, 60 & 85

[RideTheLightning1995]

I love my Jim Root Tele. I have an Alexi-600 like Invin and a Dean Zero , but I like the Jim Root Tele the best.
