Best Smile under $500 USD! Paranormal Custom Nashville ______caster

What’s the most gear fun you’ve had under 500? Heck under 450? Here’s my brand new Fender Paranormal Series Custom Nashville Strat, which as you’ll see is no Strat at all. Which is why it’s good.
Thanks for watching- NOW SUBSCRIBE! Did it? Good, that’s better than making your bed. Cross it off your list.

I own quite a few guitars and I bought this same model about 2wks agó. This guitar is a lot more than a platform for mods. It's one hell of a guitar. It's neither a Strat or a Tele but you can get both those guitar sounds out of it+.. It's just a great versatile guitar. I certainly wont be changing any pickups or anything else about. It. Well done Squier, youve surpassed yourself again and youve also surpassed Fender with hybrid guitar. The best of all worlds. ❤

I’m totally on board other than the pickups- not bad, but no dimension. Just not bad enough to not be worth changing tho!

300 on sale from Fender.

[@joshoptical]

That would be a steal!

[@mrcurtis73]

You mentioned that you were going to change the pickups. Curious what you would change to..

I’d have Tom Brantley wind me a set.

Nice job. Will a Tele neck fit on it?

[@joshoptical]

I got my Philip Kubicki Strat neck (reshaped w Tele headstock) in there with a little carving on the pocket!

[@ronaldnixon8226]

The necks suck, but otherwise they can be decent.

[@joshoptical]

I found the neck to be far more comfortable with better fit and finish than any MIM strat

Interesting, my experience is the complete opposite. I got the paranormal tele with the jazzmaster body, and the neck is quite the specimen. It's a beautiful piece of wood and the luthier did a great job on this one.

@@mattt180 yeah the neck on mine is pretty spectacular for the price!

[@ronaldnixon8226]

@@mattt180 No luthier worked on a Squier. A factory worker in China pulled it from a CNC machine, hammered cheap frets in, and bolted it on with skinny screws.

@@ronaldnixon8226 Whatever title you'd like to give the man/men who put together the guitar, they did a great job.
