Atomic humbucker and Vintage-Style hardware
With two powerful Squier Atomic humbuckers the Paranormal Super Sonic puts the guitar amp under the steam and delivers juicy distorting overdrive sounds that feel at home in the wide field between punk and rock'n'roll. Both pickups are managed via their ownvolume controls and a 3-way switch. In addition, Squier's Paranormal Super-Sonic electric guitar features a Synchronized Tremolo, and riffs and solos to decorate with dazzling pitch bends.
Excellent guitar. The tuning stability issue was remedied by replacing the string tees fitted with 'Graph-Tech'. I've wanted a supersonic since the first time I saw one (the '90s). It's a great looking guitar and is easy to play. I restrung with Ernie Ball 11's and have fitted a special wiring loom that gives me coil-tap and 'in/out of phase' as well as a plethora of other configurations, I also have a kill-switch fitted. The wiring loom was supplied by David at 'Bloodstone' guitar works in the UK and I couldn't be happier with the sound. The stock 'Atomic' humbuckers are super-hot, but it's still easy to get very clean sounds. I don't see me modding this anytime soon, everything just 'works'. Also, DV247 did a great job on the packaging. All in all, I'm very happy 🤓👍🤘
