There were some questions asked about Jim releasing his signature guitar from Fender. Here's his reply to these questions:
"Yeah, It's coming out this year. I don't know many of the "post" details yet. Like the price and availability.It's based on the "Flathead" tele's that I play.Mahagony body, maple necks with either maple or ebony fretboards, 12 degree fretboard radius, jumbo frets, schaller locking machines, EMG 81/60, 1 volume knob, 70's tele logo, matte black with white pickgaurd and matte white with black pickgaurd, dot inlays. There won't be anything on it that says's "Slipknot" or "Stone Sour" only my signature on the headstock.When I've taslked to Justin at Fender about it, we've decided to do a USA model or possibly a Mexi. It won't be a custom shop model because I want to keep the price under $1000. But, because of the wood and pickups and hardware it might be close.That's about all I know so far...J "
