I like it. The bypass tone is by far the best. for me. As a bonus, if you turn the vol all the way down, you can hit the 3rd position on the rotary like a kill switch
I love it. Definitely getting one
All the Paranormals I’ve played have been consistently nicer than the CV’s QC wise, much better fit and finish and superior necks. MIC vs. Indonesia a factor? The older CV’s were MIC but not anymore, the quality isn’t what it used to be. But nearly every Paranormal (all MIC) I’ve played has been great, plus they’re very cool designs. This one sounds great also!
i have other way around, i find paranormal being just under CV. My countries store all CV are perfect while paranormal been hit n miss. I do find indonesian be better built quality, nearly perfect. I did like MIC bodie be slightly different color but I do find Necks on indonesian better color. MiC have more like a piss yellow that vintage yellow. Mic (pre 2011) had better pickups because allegedly they were made by ToneRider.
I only have experience with one Paranormal. I bought a Strat-O-Sonic. It's a great guitar. Superb workmanship, sounds and plays great. 💲?👍👍! I do have a Fender that was made in Indonesia. A limited telecaster custom fmt hh. Also a superb guitar.
Had some great tones from this guitar and for a single pick up just gave you all the tones you needed. Seemed a very playable guitar as well as both of you seemed to be all of the neck when playing. Very nice.
Getting one for sure . So cool. Kind of a dream guitar for me at a very affordable price cheers
I’ve loved the sound of this thing in every review I’ve seen so far. Very distinctive tones from that pickup. String gauges… I’m 9s on 25.5”, 10s on 24.75”, just to get a similar string tension. I’m actually considering 9.5s for my half-step-down 25.5”s, though.
After many years and many guitars, I now only own a custom shop Fender Esquire and I'm in love with this new paranormal esquire deluxe. I may get one as a backup.
I use 9’s on all my guitars. Nice guitar and great review. Thanks for sharing.
This guitar seemed to be made for me. I can’t play regular teles because I hit the tone knob while I strum. I also love the simplicity of the single pickup and the options the switch gives. Love it!
These cool, unique Squiers are awesome. It is great that they make so many truly unique Squier models, that don't even have a Fender branded equivalent, instead of nothing but cheaper versions of the exact same thing Fender puts out.
Also, as far as strings, I generally use 9s on 25.5" scale, and usually 10s, but sometimes 9s, on the shorter 24", 24.75", and 25" scale lengths. Although, especially with 9s, I do often prefer the hybrid type of sets with heavier wound strings, and the normal plain strings, such as a 9-46 instead of the normal 9-42.
9’s my go to strings never owned a Squier tried a few in the guitar store but to always see a cheaper better alternative.. saying that this Esquire looks tasty!🙂👍🎸
Thanks bluessumlin!!
I love this thing, gotta wonder what it sounds like with a bona fide CuNiFe WR in it.
I use round core all nickel 9's on Strats (w/4 trem springs,) 10's on ice picky Teles. But I have small child like hands, not ham sized mitts like SRV (13's you know...)
Man I love mine ...awesome neck and feel very well made And have owned hundreds of guitars in my 69 years ...this is a great purchase these guys do very good product reviews 👍👍👍☮️
Answering your string question I have always used 9’s find them so much easier to play when doing full tone bends. I found Dunlop strings about a year ago (before you guys started to use them) and have been super impressed with them.
So they paid homage to Deryck Whibley’s Telecaster
All the kazongas!!!
Every single one of them…
@@TSFAHTPS every last one 😂🤘🏽
@@PooNinja 🤣
That’s pretty cool. I might have to get one of these lonely cousins to go with my Tele Deluxe and John 5 Triple Tele Deluxe!!!
Nice…I always liked the John 5 Triple Deluxe…Great looking guitar!!
Really like the look of these, especially in the Mocha finish. Could work superbly as a no-messing punk rock guitar.
Absolutely…I think it’s just the right kinda pickup too!!
It works great for rock, country or, of course, punk
Would it be good for hardcore? It seems to tick all the boxes
As in skramz
Deryck Whibley of Sum 41 uses a Telecaster exactly like this one.
Nice video! I wanted to know how different you think the tone of this guitar is compared to the bridge pickup of an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I have one but always wanted a Tele Deluxe
Not sure…I haven’t played anything Gibson or Epiphone in a LONG time!
But we both noticed how jangly the pickup on this Squier was…so I’d say it would be quite a different pickup! This one has an almost single coil quack to it…I’d put it somewhere in between a single coil and a humbucker…lots of single coil style articulation and note separation but with more of a humbucker grunt …if that makes sense?!?
Is the Jag-master in the Paranormal series? I didn't even know they existed until a friend brought one to practice to let me check it out. It's the only offset I've ever played- kind of a strange guitar really. Might be a pretty good if I could do a setup on it and give it some tlc- but it's not mine. And it has HBs in it instead of the Jazz Master style pickups- so really, you're not getting the full experience. I wonder if you could put JM pickups in it- anyone know?
I don’t think it’s in this series…maybe an older series?!?
Feels like so much pickguard for what's there. Surely, there was a cleaner way to do this. It's still cool.
If only it had a roasted neck. I would have bought twice the amount of guitars in my life if necks were better matched with bodies.
10's, 11's, and 12's.
ANGUS YOUNG uses 9s
Is Gabor Hungarian?
The name is…my dad is Hungarian
@@TSFAHTPS nice, greetings from Hungary!
just ordered one from fender. they were marking them down by 30%. sparkle blue. gonna drop a reissue CuNiFe pickup into it.
