Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe - metallic black

The SQUIER Paranormal Esquire Deluxe (0377045565) solid body electric guitar imagines what the very first Fender model would have looked like if it had evolved into the 1970s, combining single pickup simplicity with innovative functionality and styling cues of the era.
Multiple tonal personalities of the Fender-Designed Wide Range pickup are accessible via the 3-way rotary switch which selects single-coil, humbucking, or humbucking with volume and tone bypass settings.
Other details include a vintage-style string-through-body hardtail bridge for optimal body resonance, a slim and comfortable “C”-shape neck profile with a slick gloss finish, and vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.

Body is made of Poplar, considered as a nice alternative for Alder, with close balanced tonal characteristics.
The lighter feel, subtler grain and cheaper cost of Poplar is perfect for affordable instruments.
