An instantly recognisable sound

The epitome of rock. The Paranormal Toronado is loaded with a pair of Squier Atomic humbucking pickups, providing a range of powerful, expressive tones to use in your music. Listen as you perform with a classic sound that delivers every note with emphasis and precision. It’s this iconic tone that makes Squier such great value. The Indian laurel fretboard also provides extra resonance, so your solos will ring out with depth and prosperity. And you'll never lose intonation because this guitar also boasts a six-saddle hardtail bridge that will keep your riffs and licks perfectly precise.

The Squier Paranormal Toronado has returned from 1998 to shake things up once again and Squier have made it accessible to anyone at an affordable price. It's equipped with humbuckers at the neck and bridge, giving you that instantly recognisable hot Fender tone. Expect a high end with beautiful clarity, throaty mid-range and a thick, creamy low-end. And it's effortless to play thanks to the comfortable ''C''-shaped neck and sleek design.

You won't need to worry about your intonation either. Your tuning will remain solid at the hands of a string-through-body hardtail bridge and standard vintage-style tuners. But you won?t only sound on point, you?ll look incredible too. An out of this world offset body design is graced by a stylish Mystic Seafoam finish and chrome hardware making for one great looking guitar.

Say no to boundaries

Say yes to creativity. Let nothing stand in the way of your next song. With this sleek design in your hands, you'll never need to worry about lack of comfort or awkward playability compromising your playing. A smooth "C" neck profile will fit nicely in your hand as you move up and down the shorter 24.75” scale. And the slick feel of the maple wood helps reduce friction, making it easier for you to play with speed. It’s time to achieve that pace you've always wanted to. And reaching high notes is a breeze with the double cutaway body, providing untethered access to the top of the fretboard. It's a comfort that will make all the difference.

Take control of your sound

It’s not only great playability. Controls can help you sculpt your tone too. And the Paranormal Toronado has four for you to experiment with. Two tone and two volume controls combined with the three-position toggle offer you endless tonal landscapes. Now, it’s up to you to use them. Explore until you’ve found the sound that will blow your crowd away.
