      I have the offset Telecaster and the black Esquire as seen here 3 minutes in. Both are awesome. These days I get more exited about high end Squiers than low end Fenders or any other brand for that matter. Great value and fun looks.

    Granted, when I was a kid affordable guitars were 1/4 of the price of these, but then gas was 35 cents a gallon... but the affordable guitars when I was a kid were absolute crap. Squier is absolutely killing it. I love the paranomal line!

      it is crazy to think the quality of guitar you can get in that 300 to 500 range. G&L tributes, Squiers, Donner, Firefly, and my favorite, IYV are just killing it with the quality and price point.

    Cool bunch of guitars! I love the Nashville Strat/Tele-I’ve been wanting something like that for decades. And it’s double-bound! Be still my heart! And it’s about time they did an Electric XII in the Squier line. I’d be really interested in that, but I’ve already got a Mexican Electric XII from the Alternate Reality series that Fender did in 2019. The Squier XII is half the price I paid for the Fender, and used are going for $300 to $750 more that what I paid for mine. I’ve even seen one going for twice the original price, but I don’t know if it actually sold for that. Original price was $999, with a crappy gig bag. It took me a couple of years, but I finally found a Jazzmaster case that was long enough to accommodate the 12-string headstonck. A regular Jazzmaster case won’t fit. I got my case from Amazon-it’s a Crossrock hardshell. I don’t imagine the Squier XII will come with even a gig bag.

They all sound fantastic, and if I didn't already have an electric 12 I'd be looking real hard at that Jazzmaster. Squire is really upping their game; they all seem like a lot of guitar for the money. I hope they do more with that Paranormal concept.

    Can't believe I missed this video or the release of this years paranormal series. I think they really crushed it this time, I want all of the guitars, I think the esquire probably my favorite, but the 12 string is a close second if not tied, just as close with the p90 'special' strat that would match my Les Paul special tribute almost exactly. I think i might need one and to refinish it in white to match.. That nashville strat never did it for me, but the double binding really pulls it all together. Damn I want them all

    I Bought the Nashville Strat, and while I don't like the fretboard, it plays great and surprisingly, it has a sound of its' own that is new and unique. The center Strat p/up sounds very much like a Strat neck p/u so you can get a Strat tone with it, and with the 2- position tone knob you get very sweet lead tone, this guitar is a tone monster and I predict this style will become very popular. Great video!!
