2022 Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH
Where would we be without a major online retailer goofing up and posting unreleased models? This is from bax-shop.co.uk.
A continuation of the Paranormal Series, and doesn't appear to be a Special Edition or FSR. These come in Fiesta Red, Black, and Mocha. Wait time is 27 weeks. Last year's Paranormals were announced in July so the shipping wait seems to work with another July announcement.

I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

OK, now these are even more tempting than the Jag you posted just before. The red especially - black and mocha don't do much for me.
I still think I can just avoid biting, but I've always liked Telemasters, even more so with a humbucker in the neck.

These are up on Fender's website too:
https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-ele ... 07506.html
But it's just the black and Dakota red, so presumably the mocha is a special run.

I didn't see any particular neck specs but that looks roasted maple to me, which, if true, is awesome.bluemonday wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 10:39 amI love the stain finished neck on the Mocha.

What kinda sucks is they're on the UK Fender site only.* Nothing on the USA site.
*Not if you live in the UK obvs!

Not a fan of offset bodies without offset tremolos. Models like this, or those that use strat tremolos look a bit "big butt" to me ^_^U So much empty space.

Re: 2022 Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH
agreed..if it had a tremolo i would want one for sure
not a huge fan of the color options either. i think the brown one with that headstock might be the best of that bunch

Re: 2022 Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH
These are awesome! This is basically what I'd make if I was making a new #1 after spending 10 years with my Tele Custom and loving the JM shape more than any others. I really wonder what pot size they went with since it's only master volume and master tone...

Re: 2022 Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH
I had a Paranormal Offset Telly but ended up selling it - very nice guitar for the price but sounded too shrill and not worth playing over the CV Strat I have. The humbucker on the neck might make me dip back in, though.

You could have put a humbucker in it. The model has a decent sized rout that will fit a humbucker or P-90, and has a middle pickup route as well.

Re: 2022 Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH
I wonder if this bodes for any other interesting stuff coming from the Paranormal line this year - would love something in that line featuring the offset vibrato. Maybe a Jazzblaster?
