Solidbody Electric Guitar with Okoume Body, Maple Neck, Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Crimson Transparent Red

Snazzy Short-scale with Sizzling Tone

The daring style and sound of Squier’s Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic guitar blend the classic feel of a Stratocaster with the fuller, warmer nature of a dual P-90-style electric — not to mention a unique aesthetic! Taking after the short-lived Fender Strat-O-Sonic models of the mid-2000s, the Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic unveils a wealth of tones by way of a pair of Fender-designed Alnico Soapbar Single Coil pickups, equipped with a 3-way selector and push-pull controls for series/parallel operation. It’s really a comfy player, too, fitted with a classic “C”-shaped maple neck that’s been slightly shortened for a 24.75-inch scale length, providing effortless convenience for guitarists of all sizes. The affordable Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic makes the perfect match for smaller-framed guitarists looking for a sharp look, comfortable feel, and a different kind of single-coil sizzle from their Strat-style axe.

Superbly comfortable 6-string

The Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic abounds with comfortable components, starting with a lightweight, articulate-sounding okoume body. Taking on a Strat-style shape, the back is carved for comfort and its enormous cutaways provide maximum convenience when playing all the way up the laurel fingerboard. The maple neck itself offers the iconic “C”-shape profile, creating a form-fitting and time-tested grip on your chording hand that won’t take a toll during those long practice sessions and performances. And since it’s technically a short-scale electric, the Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic shaves off about an inch of scale length compared to standard-length electrics, making tasks like nailing those open-position chords less strenuous for youngsters and smaller guitarists alike.

Fender-designed Alnico Soapbars

Armed with a pair of Fender-designed Alnico Soapbar pickups at the neck and bridge, you can expect a warmer, fuller-sounding single-coil tone out of your Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic. Its alnico magnet construction still brings that single-coil spank to the table, but with a bit less jangle that’s more suitable for jazz, blues, and modern rock. But pickup tone is only half the equation! A 3-way selector switch and a push-pull knob control let you choose between running your pickups in series (thicker and warmer) or parallel (thinner and more chimey). Whatever your preferred playing style, the Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic is happy to accommodate.

Paranormal first impressions

Everywhere you look on the Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic, there’s a stylish feature that stands out and questions the customary appointments of the past! A compensated wraparound bridge and vintage-style tuners hold your intonation with total charm. At the same time, the unique 3-ply pickguard shape offers a divergent take on those typically associated with the body style. Continuing to eschew tradition, a side-mounted instrument cable jack throws in some additional otherworldly flavor. Toss in a pickguard-matching headstock for good measure, and the closer you look, the more this Strat in disguise becomes its own unique beast!
