collapse expand iconDescription

The Squier Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic electric guitar blends the classic feel of a Stratocaster with the fuller, warmer nature of dual P-90-style pickups. The Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic unveils a wealth of tones perfect for guitarists seeking to stand out.This daring ax makes the perfect match for players looking for a sharp look, comfortable feel and a different kind of single-coil sizzle from their Strat-style guitar.

Snazzy Short-Scale Provides Effortless Playability

The Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic features a slim, comfortable maple neck and fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard — all on a slightly shortened 24.75" scale length, providing effortless convenience for guitarists of all sizes. A gloss neck finish lends a slick feel, while vintage-style tuners keep things tuned accurately and smoothly.

Sizzling Tone from Fender-Designed Pickups

This ax gets its bold tone from a pair of Fender-designed alnico soapbar single-coil pickups. A 3-way selector switch provides a range of tones from bright to warm, while push-pull controls enable series/parallel operation and phase switching in the middle position for even more tonal variety. The compensated wraparound bridge works with the pickups to produce a resonant, harmonically rich voice.

Daring Esthetic with Classic Inspiration

The Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic's Crimson Red Transparent finish provides a daring pop of color, offset nicely by the vintage cream pickguard. Stylistic nods to the past include the Stratocaster body shape, control layout, and black "bell-style" knobs. A perfect fusion of classic and modern, this ax is sure to turn heads.
