Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Black Pickguard, Metallic Black

DESCRIPTION

The Paranormal Esquire Deluxe imagines what the very first Fender model would have looked like if it had evolved into the 1970s, combining single pickup simplicity with innovative functionality and styling cues of the era. Multiple tonal personalities of the Fender-Designed Wide Range pickup are accessible via the 3-way rotary switch which selects single-coil, humbucking, or humbucking with volume and tone bypass settings. Other details include a vintage-style string-through-body hardtail bridge for optimal body resonance, a slim and comfortable "C"-shape neck profile with a slick gloss finish, and vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.

This model features a coil-splitting Fender-Designed alnico Wide Range humbucking pickup for superior tone suitable for a wide variety of musical settings.

STRING-THROUGH-BODY BRIDGE
A string-through-body bridge improves resonance through the body and increases string tension for a rock-solid feel.
