Leave it to Squier to create a guitar so steeped in the uncanny valley that it could only belong to the Paranormal series. Introducing the Cabronita Thinline Telecaster. This Tele breaks from the traditional Cabronita recipe by subbing the traditional 'Tron pickups for a set of Fender-designed alnico Jazzmaster single-coils. The result is a decidedly thicker, glassier response and a tone that's more associated with overblown alt-rock and sultry surf melodies than sock hops and dance halls. The semi-hollow design gives the Paranormal Cabronita Thinline Tele a devilishly light stage weight and a propensity for sweet, soulful feedback when you crank up to 11. Meanwhile, a bevy of classic Fender color options gives each piece in the series that irresistible mid-century vibe. The Cabronita Thinline Tele's string-through-body enhances sustain to create lingering leads and chords. Another feature we enjoy is this Cabronita's gloss-backed slim "C" maple neck, which gives you plenty of reach for jazzy inversions to thumb-over Hendrix chords.
This F-holed Cabronita Tele features a Thinline semi-hollow poplar body that is light in the hand and full of great tone, even unplugged. Together with its Jazzmaster single-coils, it's a recipe for a good time in virtually any practice or performance setting.
Some of Music Experience's favorite-playing Teles of all time have sported Slim "C"-profile maple necks just like the Cabronita Telecaster Thinline. It's a versatile platform for technical playing to cowboy chording.
Traditional Cabronita Teles are known for the chilly howl and sparkling presence associated with their trademark 'Tron pickups. The Squier Paranormal Cabronita Telecaster Thinline bucks tradition, packing instead, a versatile set of alnico Jazzmaster single-coils that are straight out of the Fender playbook.
To create the Paranormal series, the mad scientists at Squier broke down a selection of Fender’s most popular designs to the atomic level and smashed them together, bringing to life some of the coolest aberrant axes we’ve ever seen. Flipped headstocks, Frankenstein electronics, necks on bodies to which they don’t belong — these guitars and basses break all the rules! So, if you’ve ever desired to chuck a set of P-90s into a La Cabronita, play a Mustang with the voice of a Strat, or own a J-Bass dressed up as a P-Bass, you’ll love the Squier Paranormal series.
