Product Description
The Paranormal Series goes far beyond what we think we know about Squier guitars. It embraces forgotten models, dabbles in what could have been, and stirs the pot of familiar Squier specs! Making a comeback from its early-2000s Fender origins, the Strat-O-Sonic brings several satisfying ingredients to the Stratocaster recipe for a truly special Squier.
Featuring dual Fender-designed alnico soapbar single-coil pickups with 3-way switching, push/pull controls for series/parallel and phase switching in position 2, a short and easy-to-play 24.75" scale length and a compensated wraparound-style bridge — this Paranormal model delivers bold, new flavour to a Fender favourite! Other player-friendly details include a slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with a fast-playing 12" radius fingerboard, a gloss neck finish for a slick yet confident feel, and vintage-style tuning machines.
Key Features
- Soapbar Single-Coil Pickups — This model features Fender-designed alnico "soapbar" pickups, which produce crisp and jangly tones suitable for a wide variety of musical styles.
- Series/Parallel & Phase Switching — With the pickup switch in position 2, the push/pull volume knob toggles series/parallel settings while the push/pull tone knob controls pickup phase. A plethora of sounds are at your disposal!
- Compensated Wraparound Bridge — A wraparound bridge provides solid string stability, while compensated saddles allow for optimal intonation.
- Vintage-Style Tuning Machines — Sporting classic looks, these retro tuning machines deliver rock-solid tuning stability and smooth action.
- Okoume Body — A popular tonewood often likened to Mahogany for its warm and sustain-rich sound.
- Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
- "C"-Shaped Neck — Slim profile is suitable for both traditional and contemporary players.
- 12" Fingerboard Radius — This fingerboard radius allows for low action and is especially well-suited to soloists.
- Narrow Tall Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
