I hope they do a Troublemaker...

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

Yeah I've seen those, but they don't come in the very sexy Ice Blue Metallic.

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

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

I did, not sure when they actually ship though!

Yeah, but they all previously said June 11th - 14th, so I'm not sure if they've been pushed back or if July is for the restock.

Offset in green. 

Nice

Agreed! I've never really fancied a Tele, but that is very tempting...

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

What would they be? A genuine question, I'm not familiar with either guitar in the flesh.

I played my friend's Jaguar quite a lot and I hated a lot of things about the design of the instrument even if it sounded great.

Stacked pots on the Jazz Bass, cool.

Just preordered the Supersonic. Could not resist! 

Wife will not be pleased.

Bugger! 

Just had an email from Andertons, and the estimated arrival date has been pushed back until 5th August now.

Huh, I haven't had anything. Ordered mine on the 5th.

Might not be all orders, maybe i missed the 1st wave of stock or something.

Not part of the Paranormal range, but how cool is this (also available for pre-order now)? I don't get on with Teles generally, but even I'd have to take this one off the wall and have a plunk if I saw it in a shop.

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

The pickup switches are even more in the wrong place than they are on a Jag. They would need to be wired 'down for on' or you'd get the classic accidental-mute sound mid-song.

None of the guitars really do anything for me, to be honest - although the Toronado isn't too bad - but the 'prototype that never existed' Jazz Bass is nice.

The baritone Cabronita... you'd tune it to B, right?

Sounds likely, the black Toronado, the white Cabronita and the blue Cyclone still have June 16th listings, so maybe they just haven't sold through their initial runs yet. So excited for that Supersonic, all of these will make superb modding platforms.

I've had an eBay saved search for a telecaster baritone for ages and just watched the price of the Mexican blacktop one go up and up. This could be the answer, affordable, not too crazy a scale length for my delicate little fingers.

Please post feedback when it arrives!!

They look superb. Perfect for scratching the baritone itch for not a lot of outlay.

A lot of the dates for Squier Paranormal series on Andertons now say the arrival date is 2nd July.
