New Squier Paranormal Range

Alterlifeson

Just saw the press blurb about this new Squier range. Inspired by the Fender Parallel Universe range that comes out each year I guess. Some interesting guitars I think. Really like the look of the black P90 tele.

Ah didn't spot that! That's a shame. The red is quite nice as well mind.

FINALLY an affordable baritone. Mad how long Fender have had that missing from their range. Grabbed a Supersonic too because I had no option. Even if I don't dig it, short scale lefty necks are rare and useful

I sense that this Discussion is going to be subsumed into another one. Spooky or what?

Sort of liked this one and some of the others look interesting

That thinkine fiesta red Tele with jazz master pickups. I could see that being a good seller. It’s rather fetching.

Not for me any of these, but they look pretty decent. They all have poplar or okoume bodies and Indian Laurel fretboards, where applicable.

There is now a MIJ Troublemaker, it’s just over a grand though not Squier money!

Did you actually buy the baritone? Interested in opinions as I too would like an affordable baritone.

I’m tempted by the Baritone. 

But, knowing me, I’d just bolt a Bigsby in it, and pop Filtertrons in it. 

..,,,and then not play it..!

No idea what that is but I approve of it.

Cyclone III. Illegitimate offspring of Mustang and Stratocaster, combining all the disadvantages of both.

Don't forget the janky Jaguar switching.  At least it doesn't have a Mustang trem...

Also, if they’ve copied the fender cyclone it won’t intonate, they set the bridge too close to the neck and the saddles won’t move back far enough
