Full Description
View Full DescriptionInspired by Fender's most unusual creations
The Paranormal Electric VI draws influence from some of Fender's most distinctive historical designs while creating an identity all its own. The Electric XII-inspired body shape and Coronado-style headstock immediately set it apart from conventional instruments, giving it a bold visual presence that's perfectly suited to the Paranormal Series. Designed for players who enjoy experimenting beyond standard guitar formats, it delivers an experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly different. Its combination of vintage aesthetics and unconventional features makes it an ideal choice for musicians seeking something genuinely unique.
Versatile pickup switching system
A pair of Fender Designed split-coil VI alnico pickups provides a voice that balances warmth, punch and articulation. The four-position rotary selector offers an impressive range of sounds, allowing players to switch between bridge pickup, neck pickup, both pickups in phase and both pickups out of phase. The out-of-phase setting introduces a distinctive, hollow character that can help parts stand out within a mix, while the traditional pickup combinations provide everything from clear cleans to fuller, more powerful tones. This flexible setup gives the instrument a sonic range that far exceeds its straightforward control layout.
Comfortable feel and effortless playability
Despite its unconventional concept, the Paranormal Electric VI is designed to feel approachable from the moment you pick it up. The comfortable C-shaped maple neck provides a familiar grip, while the shorter 24.75-inch scale length makes stretches, bends and chord work feel natural. A bound Indian laurel fingerboard with pearloid block inlays adds an upscale touch, and the 9.5-inch radius paired with Narrow Tall frets offers a modern playing feel suited to a wide variety of techniques. Together, these features ensure a smooth and enjoyable playing experience.
Vintage-inspired hardware and expression
The Mustang-style floating tremolo system allows for smooth vibrato effects and expressive pitch modulation while maintaining the instrument's vintage-inspired character. Vintage-style tuning machines provide reliable tuning stability, while chrome hardware and a parchment pickguard complete the classic aesthetic. Combined with the unique electronics and distinctive design, these details help create an instrument that encourages experimentation and creativity while remaining practical and dependable for regular use. It's an ideal choice for players looking to expand their tonal palette without sacrificing comfort or familiarity.
