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! The Paranormal Esquire Deluxe imagines what the very first Fender model would have looked like if it had evolved into the 1970s, combining single-pickup simplicity with innovative functionality and styling cues of the era.

Multiple tonal personalities of the Fender-designed Wide Range pickup are accessible via the 3-way rotary switch which selects single-coil, humbucking, or humbucking with volume and tone bypass settings. Other details include a strings-through-body hardtail bridge for optimal body resonance, a slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with a slick gloss finish, and vintage-style tuning machines.

Key Features

• Fender-Designed Wide Range Pickup — This model features a coil-splittable alnico Wide Range humbucker, capable of delivering everything from fat punky punch to crystal-clear country twang!
• 3-Way Rotary Switch — Foregoing the typical toggle switch, this quirky Esquire features a 3-way rotary switch with a chickenhead amp knob for a unique look. This toggles between three distinct output options: single-coil (up), humbucking (middle), and humbucking with volume and tone bypass (down).
• 6-Saddle Hardtail Bridge — Individual string saddles allow for precise action and intonation adjustment, while the strings-through-body bridge design improves resonance and increases string tension for a rock-solid and responsive playing feel.
• Vintage-Style Tuning Machines — Sporting classic looks, these retro tuning machines deliver rock-solid tuning stability and smooth action.
• 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.
• Narrow Tall Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
