This Daemonum set is Jim Root's aggressive signature sound, plain and simple. The bridge pickup screams with a modern, tight low-end, while the neck offers a surprisingly warm counterpoint. It's a fantastic upgrade for metal and hard rock players wanting a high-gain, active tone without the complexity of a custom-wound set.
