NGD: Squier Paranormal Super-Sonic WARNING - SPARKLE CONTENT

Post by Jester » Wed Jul 28, 2021 5:03 pm

So.....this is the one that got away! I have an original Vista Series in silver sparkle (which has yellowed quite a bit) and had always wanted the blue one but the $$$ was always too much. Like others here, when these were reissued a few years ago I hoped for the sparkle finish and was disappointed and so never pulled the trigger. When I saw the pre-order for this reissue it was a no brainer!

I was told these would be shipping in September (in Australia) but got an email the other day to say it had arrived :) Picked it up yesterday and am surprised at how the nice the finish is. The sparkle looks fantastic and the next is very smooth with a slight gloss finish. Haven't compared with the original yet but it feels to be in the same ball park.
Not too sure about the quality of the tuners but I need to put on some heavier strings and see how it goes. Also haven't had time to run through my rig yet, will hopefully get to that today.

That's beautiful! I have the ice blue metallic but that blue looks so much more vibrant. Congrats!

So jelly! I bought the LPB one last year but I didn't know they were going to make a sparkle version.

It was integral to my band's last record though so I'm glad I had it. But the sparkle ones are soooooo sweet!

That's just about my ideal shade of blue sparkle. Wow. Congrats. That's crazy sharp.

I did NOT need to see this! (I recently got a Vintera Mustang, no more gear for a while).

Looks amazing!

The Super-Sonic is about the only Fender/Squier I want that I don’t already own.
