Squier - Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic - Crimson Red Transparent - 0377035538
Making a comeback from its early-2000s Fender® origins, the Strat-O-Sonic brings several satisfying ingredients to the Stratocaster® recipe for a truly special Squier®. Featuring dual Fender-Designed alnico soapbar single-coil pickups with 3-way switching, push/pull controls for series/parallel and phase switching in position 2, a short and easy-to-play 24.75" scale length and a compensated wraparound-style bridge, this Paranormal model delivers bold, new flavor to a Fender favorite. Other player-friendly details include a slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with a fast-playing 12” radius fingerboard, a gloss neck finish for a slick yet confident feel, and vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Five distinct pickup positions for the widest tonal range of any electric guitar design. Iconic contoured double-cutaway body that's comfortable for hours of playing. Tremolo system adding vibrato expression to every note. The design that shaped the sound of modern popular music.
Positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way switch are where the Strat magic lives - that glassy, bell-like quack is unlike anything else in the guitar world. Add a splash of spring reverb for instant inspiration.
The Stratocaster is the most versatile electric guitar ever designed - full stop. Five pickup positions cover every genre imaginable, the contoured body makes even marathon sessions comfortable, and that unmistakable Strat tone has been the soundtrack of popular music for seven decades. If you could only own one electric guitar, this design would be the smartest choice.
