Squier

Description

The Squier Paranormal Stratocaster Deluxe electric guitar reworks the familiar Strat formula with a distinctly unconventional pickup pairing, combining Telecaster-style neck clarity, humbucker bridge power and coil-split flexibility in one offset-from-tradition Squier design. Built for players who want Strat comfort with broader tonal range, this Paranormal model blends a nyatoh body, large '70s-inspired headstock, vintage-style tremolo and finish-specific maple or Indian laurel fingerboard options for a familiar feel with a more adventurous voice. From bright, articulate rhythm tones to thicker bridge-driven leads, the Paranormal Stratocaster Deluxe delivers a creative spin on a Fender classic.

Telecaster Clarity Meets Humbucker Punch

The Paranormal Stratocaster Deluxe pairs the snappy response of a Fender-Designed alnico Telecaster neck pickup with the thick, saturated punch of a Fender-Designed alnico humbucker at the bridge. A 3-way blade switch provides fast access to core pickup voices, while push/pull coil-split functionality on the tone control unlocks additional single-coil-style sounds from the bridge humbucker. This expanded pickup layout gives players a wide range of clean, driven and split-coil textures without sacrificing the comfortable feel of a Stratocaster platform.

Deluxe-Era Styling With a Large '70s Headstock

Drawing from Fender's Deluxe-era design language, this Paranormal model features a large '70s-inspired Stratocaster headstock and skirted amp-style control knobs for a bold visual identity. A gloss polyurethane-finished nyatoh body, chrome hardware and finish-specific pickguard combinations give each version its own personality while keeping the look rooted in classic Fender style. It is a Stratocaster at heart, but with the kind of unexpected details that define the Paranormal series.

Comfortable Neck Feel With Finish-Specific Fingerboards

A comfortable "C"-shaped maple neck provides an easy-playing feel for rhythm work, lead lines and extended sessions. Depending on finish, the Stratocaster Deluxe is available with either a maple or Indian laurel fingerboard, each paired with a 9.5" radius and 22 narrow tall frets for smooth bends, accurate fretting and comfortable chording. A satin urethane neck finish supports a smooth, natural feel, making this guitar easy to navigate whether you're practicing, recording or performing.

Vintage-Style Tremolo and Reliable Hardware

The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge lets players add subtle shimmer, expressive vibrato and classic pitch movement while maintaining dependable performance. Vintage-style tuning machines provide smooth tuning adjustment and traditional Fender-inspired looks, while a 25.5" scale length and nickel-plated steel strings preserve familiar Stratocaster tension and response. Together, these details make the Paranormal Stratocaster Deluxe feel approachable, stable and ready for a wide range of playing styles.

A Creative Stratocaster Built for Broader Tones

With its Telecaster neck pickup, coil-splittable bridge humbucker, vintage-style tremolo and Deluxe-inspired visual attitude, the Squier Paranormal Stratocaster Deluxe is built for players who want something beyond a standard Stratocaster. Its blend of familiar ergonomics and unexpected electronics makes it a strong fit for guitarists who move between crisp cleans, punchy rhythm parts and thicker driven tones. For players drawn to classic Fender shapes with a more adventurous voice, the Paranormal Stratocaster Deluxe offers a distinctive take on one of the world's most recognizable electric guitars.
