Manufacturer's Description

Making a comeback from its early-2000s Fender® origins, the Strat-O-Sonic brings several satisfying ingredients to the Stratocaster® recipe for a truly special Squier®. Featuring dual Fender-Designed alnico soapbar single-coil pickups with 3-way switching, push/pull controls for series/parallel and phase switching in position 2, a short and easy-to-play 24.75" scale length and a compensated wraparound-style bridge, this Paranormal model delivers bold, new flavor to a Fender favorite. Other player-friendly details include a slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with a fast-playing 12” radius fingerboard, a gloss neck finish for a slick yet confident feel, and vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.

Highlights

SERIES/PARALLEL AND PHASE SWITCHING

With the pickup switch in position 2, the push/pull volume knob toggles series/parallel settings while the push/pull tone knob controls pickup phase.

COMPENSATED WRAPAROUND BRIDGE

A wraparound bridge provides solid string stability, while compensated saddles allow for optimal intonation.

FENDER-DESIGNED ALNICO PICKUPS

This model features Fender-Designed alnico single-coil soapbar pickups for superior tone suitable for a wide variety of musical settings.

12“ FINGERBOARD RADIUS

This fingerboard radius allows for low action and is especially well-suited to bending notes and soloing.

VINTAGE-STYLE TUNING MACHINES

Sporting classic looks, these vintage-style tuning machines provide rock-solid tuning stability and smooth action.

GLOSS NECK FINISH

With a comfortable, slick feel and elegant appearance, a gloss neck finish is a classic Fender feature.
