Soaring Soapbar single-coils
The Fender Designed Alnico Soapbar Single-Coil pickups are an excellent choice for guitarists looking to achieve a warm and vintage-inspired sound. These electronics are designed with unique soapbar casings and feature Alnico magnets, providing exceptional clarity and tonal depth. This unique design sets them apart from traditional single-coil pickups, making them an excellent choice for those who want to experiment with their sound.

Alongside these pickups, you are provided with a master tone and volume knob, as well as a 3-way pickup selector switch that allows for ample customisation over your sound. Whether you're into blues, jazz, or rock, these pickups are an excellent choice for versatile and unique voicings.

Playability perfected
The Squier Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic is a highly playable guitar that is perfect for performers of all skill levels. The neck is comfortable, smooth, and made from high-quality maple, which has a durable and strong enough feel for the most aggressive performers. This is topped with a laurel fingerboard, which provides a slick surface that is easy to glide your fingers over. The frets are also well-spaced, giving you plenty of room to move around the neck and play complex chords or patterns.

Another aspect that makes this guitar so playable is its lightweight and balanced design. The body is crafted from okoume, ensuring it easy to hold and play during the longest hours of practice and performance. Additionally, it sits comfortably against your body while you play, allowing you to focus on your technique and creativity rather than the discomfort of holding a heavy or awkwardly balanced instrument.

Maintain your perfect pitch all performance
The compensated wrap-around bridge is well-suited for players who prefer a vintage feel and tone. It provides an excellent tuning stability and intonation. Thanks to the individual adjustable saddles, you can fine tune the intonation of each string. This ensures your guitar is perfectly in tune across the entire length of the fingerboard, allowing for accurate and consistent playing. Additionally, the wrap-around design of the bridge provides a unique tonal quality that is ideal for a wide range of playing styles, from clean country picking to heavy metal riffing.
