Description
The Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe poplar electric guitar imagines what the very first Fender model would look like if it had evolved into the ’70s, combining single-pickup simplicity with the innovative functionality and styling cues of the era. Multiple tonal personalities of the Fender-designed Wide Range Humbucker pickup are accessible via the 3-way rotary switch, which selects single-coil, humbucking or humbucking with volume and tone-bypass settings. Additional appointments to the Paranormal Esquire Deluxe include a vintage-style string-through-body hardtail bridge for optimal body resonance, a slim and comfortable C-shaped neck profile with a slick gloss finish and vintage-style tuners for smooth and accurate tuning.

    I've wanted this style of a telecaster for years and when I found it, I was so excited to order it! The pickups are amazing and definitely give that alternative/punk rock sound I've been looking for! Definitely worth it!

  • Great guitar

    Fret work is impeccable. The finish is really nice no scratches the metal flake is very taste full Overall a well built guitar. The pickup is versatile Does everything you want it to do. The pickup does have a harshness to the sound rather ear splitting. I think I string change may fix that. Overall great guitar
