Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe, Maple Fingerboard, Metallic Black

Full Description

Experiment with your tone

The Fender Designed Wide Range humbucker is based on Fender's pickup of the same name, which was first introduced in the 1970s - it quickly gained popularity among guitarists due to its unique sound. Squier's well-loved version is featured on the Paranormal, located in the bridge position. It infuses your sound with the warm and smooth tones of a traditional humbucker, whilst maintaining the crisp and twangy characteristics of a single-coil pickup. This pickup is a go-to choice for guitarists looking for a versatile sound that can handle anything from clean jazzy tones to heavy distortion.

Complementing this singular pickup are select controls that allow you to take charge over your sound. The master volume allows for easy manipulation of the output, whilst the master tone can be used to shape the nature of your sound. And with the 3-way rotary switch, you can select between different pickup styles. This combination of features provides you with a large tonal palette that is ready to accommodate a variety of musical styles and genres.

No limitations while you perform

The Squier Esquire offers an incredible playability. The neck is crafted with the iconic and commonly used C-shaped profile, which is thin and sleek so navigating the fingerboard is quick and efficient. Hit each and every note with precision. In addition to the shape, the Esquire's neck is made from high-quality maple, which provides a smooth surface and a comfortable grip. Practise and perform without experiencing a hint of hand fatigue.

And whilst this model is truly dreamy to play, it is also designed to help through your gigs without the stress. This is why it has been crafted with excellent tuning stability. This guitar utilises a six-saddle bridge design, which ensures that each string is properly intonated and stays in perfect pitch. The combination of the bridge design and the solid construction of the guitar body results in a stable and reliable instrument that can handle even the most aggressive playing styles. The Esquire is ideal for both beginners and advanced players alike, as it provides a level of comfort and reliability that is difficult to find in other guitars.
