The Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SJ or Olympic White electric guitar at a glance
The Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SJ or Olympic White is literally what its name suggests: A paranormal combination of a Telecaster and a Jazzmaster! In detail, typical features of both iconic electric guitars have been lumped together to bring the most popular features of both electric guitars into one model. At first glance, the Jazzmaster body, the Jazzmaster single coil in the neck position and the Pearoloid Dot fingerboard catch the eye, while the headstock, bridge and control plate can be assigned to the iconic Telecaster design. The highlight of the Paranormal Offset Telecaster is the Master volume and Master tone control, both of which are equipped with a push/pull function to control various pickup configurations that deliver the iconic Tele twang and also allow variable sound options such as parallel/serial switching or phase inversion. Haptics and feel are strongly aimed at the unique Jazzmaster feel, making the Paranormal Offset Telecaster an electric guitar that combines great sound features and a unique look.
The bizarre Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster in chic Olympic White combines the best features of the Telecaster and Jazzmaster.
Alnico pickups, vintage Tele bridge and the Jazzmaster body deliver an unbeatable sound.
Alnico pickups and push/pull features
The Paranormal Offset Telecaster is equipped with two Fender Alnico single coils in the neck and bridge position. While the bridge single coil is positioned in the 3-saddle vintagestyle Tele bridge, the neck single coil has the typical Jazzmaster pickup cover. Both pickups can be controlled either individually or in combination via the 3-way switch and offer the iconic Telecaster twang, which consists of soft highs and clear mids. For unconventional sound variations, the circuit can be adjusted as desired using the push/pull feature of the Master Volume and Master Tone controls: The Push/Pull Master Volume control allows either serial or parallel switching of the pickups, while the Push/Pull Master Tone control realizes phase reversal (Up: Out-Of-Phase; Down: In-Phase).

Offset design and Tele features
In detail, the Paranormal Offset Telecaster consists of a poplar body with a bolt-onmaple neck, which features a Laurel fingerboard with 21 narrow-tall frets, pearloid dot inlays and a fingerboard radius of 9.5". The typical Jazzmaster offset design of the body provides pleasant playability, while the fretboard also offers the haptic advantages of a Jazzmaster. The electric guitar comes with .009 - .042 strings, standard strap buttons and a classic 4-bolt neck plate. The Olympic White high-gloss finish also provides a beautiful Vintage-Look and makes the Paranormal Offset Telecaster a real eye-catcher in the rehearsal room or on stage.
The Telecaster headstock delivers the full vintage vibe.
Vintage-style hardware
