Iconic Design Meets Modern Functionality
The Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe embodies the spirit of Fender’s pioneering guitars, merging simplicity and functionality seamlessly. Its aesthetic nods to the revered Telecaster Deluxe while incorporating contemporary elements. The guitar’s glossy “C”-shape neck profile ensures smooth playability, while vintage-style tuning machines deliver consistent and accurate, providing you with a reliable instrument for live and recording applications.
Poplar and Maple Tonewoods
The Esquire Deluxe is built with a Poplar body, known for its balanced tonal qualities, complemented by a Maple neck which adds brightness and sustain. This blend of tonewoods ensures a rich, resonant sound that will truly resonate with guitarists looking for both balance and character in their tone.
Versatile Single Pickup Setup
At the heart of the Esquire Deluxe’s electronics is a Fender Designed Wide-Range Humbucking pickup. This sophisticated pickup offers more tones than meets the eye, thanks to a coil-split control.
A 3-Position Rotary Switch facilitates seamless transitions between three distinct tone settings: full humbucker bypassing the tone circuit, humbucker with tone circuit, and the humbucker’s inner coil only, each offering unique tonal possibilities.
Robust Hardware for Enhanced Playability
The guitar’s hardware is an embodiment of resilience and playability. It features a 6-Saddle String-Through-Body Tele bridge with Bent Steel Saddles for optimal sustain and resonance. It’s paired with vintage-style tuning machines, ensuring your guitar remains in tune, and allowing you to focus on your performance.
