Squier Paranormal Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe Bigsby Electric Guitar
Bound Telecaster attitude with dual humbuckers, coil-splitting and Bigsby shimmer
Overview
The Squier Paranormal Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe Bigsby Electric Guitar blends bold Telecaster-inspired style with a powerful dual-humbucker voice and expressive vibrato control. Built to deliver thick rhythm sounds, singing leads and expanded single-coil-style textures, this Paranormal model pairs Fender-Designed alnico humbuckers with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup. Add push/pull coil-splitting, an Adjust-O-Matic bridge and a B50 Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, and this Troublemaker becomes a highly flexible guitar with plenty of stage-ready personality.
Features
The dual Fender-Designed alnico humbuckers give this guitar a full, confident voice with plenty of punch for rock, blues, indie, alternative and heavier rhythm work. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, allowing more detailed blending and shaping than a simpler two-knob layout. A 3-way toggle switch keeps pickup selection fast and familiar.
Both tone controls include push/pull coil-splitting, letting the neck and bridge humbuckers be split independently. That gives the guitar a wider tonal range, from thick humbucker drive to brighter, leaner single-coil-style sounds. It is a useful setup for players who need one guitar to cover rhythm crunch, cleaner passages, lead tones and more textured parts.
The B50 Bigsby vibrato tailpiece adds smooth, vintage-inspired pitch movement that works beautifully for chord shimmer, subtle bends and expressive lead phrasing. An Adjust-O-Matic adjustable bridge supports precise intonation, while the bound body, bound laurel fretboard and pearloid block inlays give the guitar an upscale Deluxe feel. A slim “C”-shaped neck, satin urethane neck finish and vintage-style tuning machines complete a comfortable, reliable playing platform.
