Discover all models of the Squier by Fender Paranormal series at a glance:
The name "Paranormal" says it all: the series unites unusual design ideas, rare Fender concepts and modern mash‑ups that you won't find in the regular Fender programme. Whether guitar or bass – each model offers a unique combination of looks, feel and sound.
Anyone can be normal!
The Squier Paranormal series reinterprets traditional design and classic features in new, futuristic ways.
Versatile sounds
Numerous models in the Paranormal series are fitted with specially developed Fender Designed Alnico Pickups. Depending on the instrument, powerful humbuckers, classic single-coils or specially developed split‑coil pickups are used. The humbuckers deliver a warm, punchy tone with high output and clear definition, while the single‑coils provide the typical Fender brilliance and a transparent response.
Models with an HS pickup configuration are particularly versatile, where a Fender Designed Alnico single-coil is combined with a powerful humbucker. This configuration enables switching between crystal‑clear clean sounds and fat, assertive rock tones.
Special models
Models in the style of the legendary Fender Bass VI can also be found within the Paranormal range. Specially developed Split-Coil "VI" Alnico Pickups deliver a full, warm fundamental character with clear definition across the entire frequency spectrum and open up exciting possibilities between bass and guitar tones.
Look with vintage flair
Alongside the tonal highlights, the Paranormal series emphasises striking designs and historic Fender details. One example is the large Stratocaster-headstock in the style of the 1970s, which gives the instruments a distinctive vintage look and captures the spirit of one of Fender's most formative eras.
Inspiring features for maximum creativity
The Paranormal series impresses not only sonically but also through its extraordinary appointments. Some models feature a Bigsby B50 Vibrato System, which provides smooth pitch modulation and brings the classic vintage vibe of legendary guitars to life.
Other instruments offer extensive tonal options through special circuits such as the 4-way rotary switch with in‑phase and out‑of‑phase settings. This allows both full, powerful sounds and characterful, assertive tonal colours that sit excellently in a band mix.
For precise intonation and reliable tuning stability, high-quality hardware components such as the Adjust-O-Matic Bridge with Stopbar Tailpiece ensure optimal vibration transfer and a comfortable playing experience.
