Featuring Fender-designed pickups, double-bound body, narrow tall frets & vintage-style tuners.

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! With a Custom Telecaster-inspired double-bound body and 3-pickup Tele configuration made famous on the Nashville scene, the Paranormal Custom Nashville Stratocaster is a shapeshifter bound for stardom!

Featuring a trio of Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups with 5-way switching and a push/pull tone knob for engaging the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2, this Squier Strat is teeming with tonal versatility. Other details include a strings-through-body Tele bridge for optimal body resonance, a slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile, a gloss neck finish for a slick yet confident feel, and vintage-style tuning machines.
