A Beautiful Contradiction
This isn’t your grandpa’s Telecaster. The Squier Paranormal Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe Bigsby is a glorious mashup of classic Fender DNA and pure rock-and-roll swagger. It takes the iconic Tele body shape, binds it in elegant parchment, and then loads it with a potent cocktail of features that demand attention. From the dual humbuckers to the expressive Bigsby vibrato, this guitar is built from the ground up to be a formidable and versatile tone machine.
Dual Alnico Humbuckers with Coil-Split
The heart of the Troublemaker is a pair of Fender-Designed Alnico Humbucking pickups. These pickups deliver a tone that is both warm and powerful, with a rich midrange and plenty of sustain. The bridge pickup has a fantastic bite that cuts through a mix, while the neck pickup is smooth and articulate, perfect for soulful leads or jazzy chords. But the real magic lies in the push/pull tone knobs, which independently split the coils for crisp, snappy single-coil sounds. This gives you an incredible sonic palette, going from full-throttle rock to classic Tele twang in an instant.
Expressive Bigsby & Solid Foundation
Adding to the guitar’s unique personality is the genuine Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece. It’s perfect for adding gentle shimmers to chords or dramatic dips to lead lines, giving your playing a classic, expressive wobble. Paired with a solid Tune-O-Matic bridge, this setup offers reliable tuning stability while letting you explore a whole new dimension of sound. The Nyatoh body provides a resonant foundation, often compared to mahogany for its warmth and sustain, ensuring every note has depth and character.
