Squier Paranormal Super-Sonic Review and Tone Test

In this video I review the Squier Paranormal Super-Sonic guitar and play some riffs to test the tones.
The Paranormal Super-Sonic™ is stranger than fiction with its reverse body shape and headstock, producing massive tone courtesy of its dual Squier Atomic humbucking pickups. The Super-Sonic is lightning fast with its "C"-shape neck profile and narrow 1.5" nut width, and also features a vintage-style tremolo for expressive string bending effects. With its otherworldly looks, transcendent playability and earth-shattering tone, this model will transport any player into a Paranormal realm.

Cool review! I personally loved the sound of it. I can see the shortcomings. Watching the video your picking hand came awful close to that pickup switch so I can see you mistakenly hitting that while playing. Big oversight in my opinion. Absolutely killer looks and sound tho.

Thanks! Ya the pickups are really good for the price - I wish they would make a squier mustang with these humbuckers - that would be a huge seller because most guys seem to drop a hot rails in the bridge all the time anyway. And ya in the video I had to play conservatively because of that damn switch! Lol - If I get going on a high energy song im wacking that switch every time…. But ya killer looking guitar and great sound :)

I have a squire supersonic and one of the things I love about it, is it rings like a bell when I play it acoustically. Maybe mine has different wood.

Ya it could be - I find every guitar, even the same model runs can be wildly different - unfortunately this one was just a dud lol

If the neck fits the pocket of another guitar, then you can easily make it work by drilling new holes for the neck screws. You can fill the old holes of they interfere.

Ya that's definitely possible but that's too much hassle for me - Id rather have a guitar that is what I want right out of the box

@@andrewbenks Got it, I thought you were saying you wanted to put this neck on another guitar but couldn't because of the hole spacing.

@@sunriseshell Ya if it was the same pattern i would have tried to swap it on my Mustang - but I don't have the tools to do that conversion job

@@andrewbenks It's easy, you can do it! If it fits, It's literally just drilling a couple holes. Worst case you glue in some bamboo skewers in the old holes.
