One pickup, three personalities – a ’70s-style Esquire with a modern twist. The Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe imagines how Fender’s very first model might have looked if it had evolved into the 1970s. It combines single-pickup simplicity with a Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucker, a 3-way rotary switch, Telecaster Deluxe styling cues and a slim, glossy “C” neck.
