Familiar yet different, this looks roughly like the old Fender Electric 12-string (namely the pickups), but is in fact a 6-string. It also has a vibrato like a Mustang and Coronado-like headstock.
If you love your legendary Fender designs beyond the usual Teles and Strats, this could be the one for you!
Squier Paranormal Electric VI, Laurel Fingerboard, Parchment Pickguard, Matching Headstock, Daphne Blue
Model #: 0377071504
Description
The Paranormal Electric VI reimagines one of the most intriguing chapters in Fender® history, combining the striking body silhouette of the 1960s Electric XII with the playability and voice of a six-string guitar. Loaded with a pair of Fender-Designed Split-Coil “VI” alnico pickups wound to guitar spec, this model serves up fat, punchy tones with vintage character to spare. The 4-way rotary switch with knob seamlessly cycles through four pickup configurations: bridge, both pickups in phase, both pickups out of phase, and neck, offering an extraordinary breadth of tone rarely packed into a single instrument. Equipped with a Mustang-style tremolo system for expressive vibrato, the Coronado-inspired headstock, an Electric XII-style control plate, and a shorter 24.75″ scale length, this is Paranormal incarnate. Other player-friendly details include a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile, a bound Indian Laurel fingerboard with pearloid block inlays, and vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.
