The Squier Paranormal Stratocaster Deluxe combines a Stratocaster-shaped nyatoh body with an HS pickup layout: an alnico Telecaster-style single-coil at the neck and an alnico humbucker at the bridge. A three-way blade switch selects the pickups, while pulling up the tone control splits the bridge humbucker for a single-coil-style option. Its Vintage White finish, mint-green pickguard and large ’70s-style Strat headstock give it a distinctive look.

A maple C-shaped neck with an Indian laurel fingerboard, 9.5-inch radius and 22 narrow-tall frets provides a familiar Strat-style playing surface. The 25.5-inch scale and six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo support expressive pitch movement with the tremolo arm. Master volume and tone controls, skirted amp-style knobs and vintage-style tuning machines complete the setup.
