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.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
