Squier Paranormal Electric VI Daphne Blue - Return (Condition: Very Good)

Squier Paranormal Electric VI - Extraordinary Fender Design Recombined!

The Squier Paranormal Electric VI picks up some of the most exciting design ideas from Fender's history and combines them into an independent six-string electric guitar. The distinctive Electric XII body shape meets a Coronado-inspired headstock, two specially voiced Split-Coil pickups and an unusually versatile 4-way switching system. With its shortened 24.75" scale length and the Mustang tremolo, this instrument blends vintage character with its own unique playing feel.

Electric XII Meets Coronado

Visually the Paranormal Electric VI clearly borrows from historic Fender instruments. The Nyatoh body features the characteristic Electric XII shape, while the headstock is reminiscent of the Coronado. The control plate is also inspired by the Electric XII's design. However, Squier doesn't present these elements as a historical copy; instead they are implemented as a six-string electric guitar with its own technical specification. The three-ply pickguard and the chrome hardware emphasize the classic character.

Two Split-Coils and Four Distinct Wiring Options

Two Fender Designed Alnico Split-Coil "VI" pickups handle the electric sound conversion. They were specifically voiced for this model and deliver a warm, full yet clearly defined character. The switching is particularly interesting: instead of a classic blade switch, the Electric VI uses a 4-position rotary switch. In addition to the individual Bridge and Neck pickups, both pickups can be used together in-phase or with phase reversal. The out-of-phase position especially expands the tonal palette with a noticeably different pickup combination. Master Volume and Master Tone provide straightforward control of the overall sound.

Short Scale and Comfortable C Neck

The 24.75" scale length results in slightly lower string tension compared to longer scales. Together with the slim C neck profile, it creates a direct playing feel that makes chords, riffs and bends comfortably accessible. The bolt-on maple neck carries a bound laurel fretboard with a 9.5" radius and 21 Narrow-Tall frets. Pearl block inlays add a distinctive visual accent. A 42 mm wide Micarta nut and vintage-style tuners complete the classic setup.

Mustang Tremolo for Expressive Effects

The Vintage Floating Mustang bridge expands the instrument with controllable pitch modulation and fits conceptually very well with the historic design mix. The Paranormal Electric VI thus combines elements of several classic Fender models with an unusual pickup switching and compact scale. The result is not a mere reissue of a historic instrument, but an independent electric guitar for players who consciously look for an alternative to conventional body shapes and standard wiring.
