The Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe reimagines Fender’s very first solidbody model through the lens of the bold and experimental 1970s. Combining stripped-down simplicity with era-specific flair, it’s a guitar that’s both familiar and refreshingly inventive. This unique take on the Esquire design pairs a single Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucker with a 3-way rotary switch, giving you three distinct tonal personalities — from bright single-coil snap to full, rich humbucking warmth, and an unfiltered bypass mode for raw, uncolored output.

The gloss-finished “C”-shape maple neck feels fast and comfortable, while the 9.5" radius fingerboard and narrow tall frets make bending and articulation effortless. Its vintage-style hardware — complete with a 6-saddle string-through-body Tele bridge and classic tuning machines — grounds this futuristic Esquire in the timeless tone and playability that players have loved for decades. A metallic black finish, black pickguard, and skirted chrome knobs lend a sophisticated, retro-inspired look that’s equally at home onstage or in the studio.

Whether you’re chasing twangy rock tones, creamy blues textures, or bold fuzz-laden riffs, the Paranormal Esquire Deluxe offers remarkable versatility from its single-pickup layout. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, it’s a perfect match for players who crave individuality, vintage-inspired style, and flexible tone-shaping options in a sleek, no-nonsense package.
