offset teles are so sexy. if i had masterbuilt money, this is what i would get. lake placid blue, but with a regular tele neck pickup. nice playing guys as usual!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Oh man, yessss! Plus I'd order it as a baritone. 🤯 Too much awesomeness to handle, hahaha //Kris

It's not a Paranormal guitar but I recently snagged a hardly been played/looks brand new/was in a storage locker for 18 years Squier 51 which I love! Have wanted one for a long time and these guitars are hard to come by, they have a acquired a cult following and it is understandable...great guitars!

[@therealrockenglish]

Not sure why the Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH variant, has so few reviews on it. I purchased the Dakota Red color on Fender's site a month ago and it is a steal at the price. This particular Squier guitar's quality and build (body and neck) are very close to those of the Fender guitars I have (MIJ Stratocaster and Telecaster). A hefty, very solid guitar that if you haven't held and played you won't know just how much of a quality guitar it is. The black was unavailable, but the red is amazing. While they are still available, it is highly recommended that you check these out and get one. I just returned a Squier Classic Vibes Baritone Telecaster (faulty switch or neck pick-up) which was a well-made but toy-like Telecaster with thicker strings. I won't purchase Indonesia-manufactured guitars (body and neck on the Baritone Telecaster were fine, but electronics were iffy) until I am sure of the quality control. The China-manufactured Squiers (Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH), Epiphones (Crestwood and Wilshire), and Gibson Inspired Epiphones (Les Paul Junior) have been outstanding lately. Thanks, Thomann's, for this video review and demo on the Paranormal Offset Telecaster SH! Please keep up the awesome work!

Ive been playing a Squier Affinity Series Tele for many years now and i absolutely love it. But the offset is calling my name!

[@joermnyc]

I personally like the Cyclone, though I’m sad it doesn’t have Jaguar pickups like the original Fender. If I didn’t have a G&L Ascari GT-90 I’d probably get that new Stratosonic.

[@alexisbordas2493]

Why the offset SH cost 250$ but on Fender website she cost 400$ ??

[@danilobernaschina1842]

I have a Squier EBass, and for a beginner like me, is really a great bargain.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Actually I have an old Squier bass and for a guitar player like me, it's a shockingly good instrument. :) Not kidding, I love it! //Kris

[@claus.tiemann9110]

I‘ m happy with my Black Week Deal for my Squier paranormal offset tele bk - so much bang for the buck! 😎🎸

[@martinosempathieecke]

When does the T- thin- carbonita comes to Thomann?!?😲 I didnt see it it at Thomann...😭

[@pedrofirmino1121]

The baritone seems awesome but I love the Oxblood finish Anderton's has. Shame it's not available elsewhere.

[@LookieChannel]

I would love to hear the offset tele vs the Benton TE53 also in SH configuration. Lovely that squier is!

[@repoman5581]

you both played it :). that special R Stein Big Riff.. ;) haha

[@douglaschristine8387]

I have a 2019 Squier classic vibe '60's stratocaster and play it daily but I only like one pickup because the other ones suck. I want to put a Seymour Duncan little 59 in the bridge. Thanks guys either your amps are really bad ass because those guitars sound phenomenal.

[@D-8-Tone2]

Nowdays it is only being a gearsnob stops you choosing from these instruments. They are continuously climbing up the level of the big F standard, and if you have a decent processor/multi fx they can stand any blindfold test.

[@johnviolette5511]

Is the neck on the baritone thicker than the normal squier thin neck?

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

It was a regular C profile, not huge at all. //Kris

[@TheBeriking]

I have that exact baritone as well as the thin line Cabronita in fiesta red and both are fabulous, super fun guitars. Highly recommend the paranormal series.

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Good choices on both sides, those paranormal guitars have some really good tonal range. You both rock, Kris and Guilluame.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks buddy!! These guitars surprised us in the best possible way. Now 3 of us in the video team can't stop thinking about that baritone tele, haha! //Kris

[@douglaschristine8387]

Great show guys but why do you use pedals. I thought you were reviewing the guitars. Sounds great but I can barely afford the guitar.

[@fhruser3847]

I personally also like Cyclone ...

[@GitShiddy]

There is no cooler "inexpensive" guitar on sale today than the Squier Paranormal Baritone.

Kris, I'm definitely blown away on how far Squier has come. Hopefully they stay affordable. Nothin scary about that. Long live the Kris Tele home of the construction cone .

[@brunodelandev]

These are not the last squier paranormal. Theses are the ones from 2020.

[@PooNinja]

Haunted guitars? Wait what!?

👽 We no alien. We human from an alternate universe. We bring you our guitars. You call them paranormal. We call them normal. Also, we come in peace. 🤣 //Kris

[@Turbo-D]

the pickups are really crappy in my experience, a swap is higly recommended here 🎸

[@SinjaEs]

yes just a bad combination of noise & feedback hum, low output, harsh highs and big lack of low end imo especially the single coils 👎👎

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Same as for every other brand, Squier uses different pickups in their models. As for the Paranormal Series, we really liked what we heard. And believe me, we are both really picky with pickups and with how a guitar reacts. The experience we had whilst playing these comes through the mix perfectly. It's of course up to you if you like what you hear in the video, or not. 👍 Cheers //Kris
