Squier by Fender Paranormal Series Super Sonic w/Tracking w/soft case USED

Description

◆Crafted in China, 2021. This model first appeared briefly in the 1990s as part of Squier’s Japan-developed "Vista Series." Since then, it has seen sporadic production runs—including versions made in Mexico and Japan—and has garnered a cult following.

Its defining feature is the "reversed" offset body shape, which evokes the aesthetic of Jimi Hendrix. It is said that the product manager behind the original design was a huge Hendrix fan, which served as the inspiration for the concept.

The tuning machines have been replaced with ones featuring white buttons. The original two-volume control configuration has been modified to a one-volume, one-tone setup. The tone control now utilizes a push-pull (switch-equipped) potentiometer, allowing for coil-tapping. Both pickups have been upgraded to Suhr Doug Aldrich models, known for their high-output, clear sound—delivering a high-quality overdriven tone that holds up even under high-gain settings. Despite its short scale, the reverse headstock provides a distinct, firm tension on the lower strings. While it sports a classic, pop-oriented look, it is more than capable of handling high-gain amplification.

Although it may not be clearly visible in the photos, the pickguard is a yellowed white-pearloid. The instrument is in beautiful condition and has plenty of life left in it. A must-see for enthusiasts! Main Specifications - Color: Blue Sparkle
