Squier Paranormal Electric VI Electric Guitar - Laurel Fingerboard - Parchment Pickguard - 3-Color Sunburst

The Paranormal Electric VI reimagines one of the most intriguing chapters in Fender® history, combining the striking body silhouette of the 1960s Electric XII with the playability and voice of a six-string guitar. Loaded with a pair of Fender-Designed Split-Coil "VI" alnico pickups wound to guitar spec, this model serves up fat, punchy tones with vintage character to spare. The 4-way rotary switch with knob seamlessly cycles through four pickup configurations: bridge, both pickups in phase, both pickups out of phase, and neck, offering an extraordinary breadth of tone rarely packed into a single instrument. Equipped with a Mustang-style tremolo system for expressive vibrato, the Coronado-inspired headstock, an Electric XII-style control plate, and a shorter 24.75" scale length, this is Paranormal incarnate. Other player-friendly details include a slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile, a bound Indian Laurel fingerboard with pearloid block inlays, and vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.
