General

Squier serve up the Toronado: a fresh and full-blooded Fender-inspired electric guitar with an offset body boasting compelling curves and commanding tone. Poplar was chosen for the body of this Paranormal Series model, which has been armed with two passive Squier Atomic Humbuckers that come with individual tone and volume controls to enable you to unleash a mile-wide range of brilliant sounds.

The Paranormal Toronado: Phenomenal Playing Comfort

Unlike most models in the Fender family, the Toronado has a 24.75-inch scale length, meaning the frets are closer together compared to a Strat or Tele. As a result, the tension of the strings is lower, making note bending a whole lot easier. Optionally, you could also put thicker strings on the guitar, which will give you even fuller sound without having to pay for it in terms of playing comfort.

An Eye for Detail

Both the body and the back of the neck sport a high-gloss finish for an immediately deluxe look and feel, and the Squier Paranormal Toronado has a fixed hardtail, six-saddle bridge with a string-through-body design to guarantee strict tuning stability and nice, long sustain. For the finishing touches, Squier went with small yet significantly stylish details such as the stunning scratchplate and vintage-style machine heads.

Wrote the following about Squier Paranormal Toronado Lake Placid Blue Electric Guitar
A fantastic looking guitar that plays with an amazing sound! Really impressed with the quality. The guitar has a lovely feel to it and is very easy to play. The colour is slightly darker in real life and all the better for it. Came very well packaged.

Supergave gitaar! Prachtig om te zien en klinkt ook nog eens geweldig. De kleur is inderdaad donkerder blauw dan op de foto, maar dat maakt hem juist nog mooier met die tortoise slagplaat. Ik ben er hartstikke blij mee!
