Fender have recently released a few new ’signature’ model guitars. The one that really caught my eye was the Jim Root Telecaster. Jim Root is the guitarist from both Slipknot and Stone Sour, both hard and heavy rocking bands. The Jim Root Signature model Tele features a mahogany body, maple neck and fingerboard, EMG pickups and a single simple, but effective, volume control.

Another release could be filed under “What were Fender thinking?” Proving that you don’t need to be a recognized guitarist to have your own signature model, Fender have released the Avril Lavigne Telecaster. Highlights include Avril’s signature on the head stock, the star logo inlay on the fingerboard, and the checkerboard pickguard. Why Fender? Why?
