Fender’s budget Squier Paranormal Series revives cult classics and introduces new hybrids

Let there be rock

Guitar maker Fender is shaking things up with the launch of its new Squier Paranormal Series (£349), a vibrant electric range geared towards those who want to unleash their inner Jimi Hendrix without dropping a hunk of cash on a preposterously pricey axe. The budget series comprises six hybrids and cult classics – from the slick Bass ’54 to the vintage Offset Telecaster – that offer more in the looks department than that £349 price tag might suggest. Each model combines familiar specs with otherworldly design choices and “transcendental” playability, and represents a good starting point for anyone intent on beginning their journey to Glasto-headlining stardom with a Fender electric.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
