Squier Paranormal Cabronita Jazzmaster Telecaster

This is the Squier Paranormal Cabronita Jazzmaster/Tele from Fender Guitars, and it is a monster straight out of the box! I put some new strings on it, lowered the action, and threw some old Strat knobs on it. Get one before they’re gone!

Sounds great, man! I keep thinking about buying one of these. Beautiful guitar. That poplar body does give me some hesitation though.

The first few teles leo were pine man dont let that stop you. My little brother just got one of these im gonna play it saturday and ill give you my opinion as a small time guitar builder

@@ASSman864 Ok, awesome! Would love to hear what you think of it. I've played Ash and Mahogany thinlines. Ash is the best and give you a lot of sound and sustain. The mahogany you just get a little less of both but still good. Also, it's worth noting that I bought a poplar semi hollow guitar once and it sounded pretty dead from the get go. But all in all I don't know think I'll let it stop me from getting one of these. I really love the blue color, the look of the P90s and thinlines in general. Look forward to hearing back.

@@richyriff def will let you know tomorrow night what i think of it, ill be bringing my squier jmascis jazzmaster to compare also since they appear to have same exact pickups.

@@richyriff and ive built a stratocaster that was a very light paulownia wood and it was amazingly resonant but light like balsa wood. Therefore i wont bash any species of wood rather the actual piece its self. So i wouldnt blame all poplar species rather the certian specimen used for your guitar. Maybe im wrong tho i do believe in tone wood but i think body shape much more impacts the overall tone than the material

@@richyriff plays great id put 10s instead of the 9 gauge that comes on it

[@carloisidoresalcedo6325]

dont sound anything like JM pickups though.

a 360p YoutTube video of a guy playing them with distortion and other effects is definitely a great way to tell
