JR4

A limited production guitar with a direct tie to Jim Root of Stone Sour and Slipknot. Maverick provided Root with several prototypes to test, and he played them live — including at the 2002 Reading Festival. The signature relationship was never formalised and Root moved on, but Maverick went ahead and produced a limited run for the market regardless. Superstrat body with full Maverick contouring, no pickup surrounds, and a hardtail bridge. 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with centralised inlays. Headstock matches body colour — observed in Pewter/Silver. Factory pickups were Duncan Designed or Wilkinson Alnico V humbuckers as standard across the Maverick range — many owners have since upgraded to EMG 81/85 actives.
