NEW SQUIER PARANORMAL SERIES

Here is the new exciting range of Squier unveiled by Fender. I am talking about the paranormal series. The Toronado, Cyclone, Super-Sonic, Offset Telecaster and Cabronita are available to pre-order now.

Squier Paranormal Toronado Guitars

The Toronado is been originally introduced by Fender in 1998 and became very popular among all the offset-style guitars with its unique shape and powerful tone. Unfortunately became discontinued just a few years later, But now has been produced again as part of the Squier Paranormal Serie.

The Toronado is packed with player-friendly features like a slim "C" shaped neck, a string-through-body bridge which enhance the string stability, an easy-playing 24.75" scale length (this gives the instrument's strings a more forgiving feel as they have less tension resulting into easier bendings and vibrato) and individual volume and tone control for a huge range of tones.

The Toronado is definitely a fat-sounding electric guitar because of its potent Atomic humbucking pickups.

Key Features are: Unique offset body shape, Dual Squier Atomic humbucking pickups, Individual volume and tone controls, String-through-body bridge, Chrome hardware, It comes in Lake placid blue and Black.

Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster

The Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster blends together two of Fender's most iconic design. The electronics and hardware are definitely from a Telecaster and the offset body shape from the Jazzmaster. The hybrid is an outstanding looking guitar.

The Poplar body (a balanced sounding and light material), is a great foundation for the spanky Fender-designed alnico single-coils. Expect from them classic Telecaster tones which are perfect for country, blues and indie rock. The body is joined with a bolt-on Maple neck which brings a very crisp top end. To enhance the playability we have the narrow-tall frets.

Key Features are: Telecaster components, Offset body shape, Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups, String-through-body bridge, Chrome hardware

Squier Paranormal Cyclone

The Cyclone is gathering lots of features from a variety of iconic Squier and Fender designs. The Mustang body is equipped with a classic tremolo bridge and three dynamic Fender-designed single-coil pickups. A great guitar that covers a wide variety of musical directions.

The scale length isn't as short as the original Mustang. It's been increased to a vintage 24.75-inches, which will make effortless string bends. The Cyclone is aptly fast to play, too, thanks to a comfy “C”-shape Maple neck and 'Narrow Tall' frets seen on Fender's American-made models.

Thanks to the comfortable “C” shape Maple neck and narrow-tall frets (like on Fender's American-made models), the Cyclone is fast to play.

The Cyclone is equipped with a trio of iconic Fender-designed single-coil pickups resulting in a bright and dynamic tone. They can handle a huge variety of tones from lush cleans to dirty overdrive.

Key Features are: It comes in Daphne Blue and Shell Pink.

It has a 24-inch scale length which makes long stretches a little bit easier and perfect for pulling off big bends and extreme vibrato because of the relaxed string resistance.

Squier Paranormal Cabronita Telecaster Thinline And Baritone

The Squier Cabronita Telecaster is inspired by late '60s Telecaster design. In this paranormal series, you can choose between a Thinline semi-hollow body or baritone extended-scale neck.

The Thinline is perfect for a clean and edge-of-breakup tone. Meanwhile, the Baritone Cabronita's 27-inch scale length allows it to be tuned down while retaining solid string tension. An extremely desirable quality across all forms of rock.

The Cabronita Thinline Tele is a semi-hollow guitar made using a poplar body. The result is a rich and airy sound.

The Cabronita's Jazzmaster pickups with the semi-hollow body create a very versatile vibrant and silky tone. The alnico Jazzmaster single-coil pickups cover a huge range of sounds.

Key Features are: It comes in Fiesta Red, in Olympic White and Baritone in Black
