As stated above. This is made in the USA. For reference, the official new price from Fender is 330,000 yen. Mexican-made model: 180,000 yen. The fret life is estimated to be around 70-80%. Slipknot Jim Root Signature Evil jet-black Jazzmaster No fretboard position inlays to emphasize the ominousness. (As shipped from the manufacturer) The finish is satin black, and the body material is mahogany, so it has the weight of a Les Paul. Ebony fretboard, 1 master volume, simple specs with only PU 3-way switching. The floating tremolo of a typical Jazzmaster has been changed to a hardtail bridge for improved tuning stability. String-through-body type Fender locking tuners The current Mexican-made model of the same type has signature pickups, but the materials and parts specs have been downgraded. (Accessories) Fender x G&G USA-made hard case Manual, keys x 2, wrench As shown in the images, the pickups have been replaced by the previous owner. (EMG Demonium → EMG 60/81) Neck side: gray 60 Bridge side: silver 81 It is thought that this was intended to improve the overall output compared to the original. James Hetfield of Metallica seems to have this specification. The covers are metal, not plastic. Other modifications: Schaller locking pins (black) Allparts rubber washer installed under the volume knob. There are dents and paint chips on the bottom of the body. Cleaned with a cloth only, no polish used. In June of this year, a repair shop performed: Overall adjustment, string replacement, battery replacement, and setup. I also have new Varta batteries, so I can include them if you wish. The neck is fine, and the truss rod has not been touched. There is also a Schaller strap lock. A full original sold for 220,000 yen on Mercari, so I'm using that as a reference. Fender Custom Shop Metal Slipknot Jim Dunlop
