Product Description

Jangle, Shimmer, and Tele Twang

Meet the Squier Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen Telecaster XII, an instrument that opens up a whole new universe of sonic texture. Inspired by the layered, atmospheric guitar work of Troy Van Leeuwen (known for his roles in Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle, and Failure), this 12-string reimagines the classic Telecaster platform for the modern texturalist. The first thing you’ll notice is that stunning Copper finish paired with a timeless tortoiseshell pickguard, a visual statement that’s as bold as its sound.

Harmonic Complexity, Classic Feel

Squier and Troy absolutely nailed the playability here. The comfortable “C” Shape maple neck has a smooth satin finish that feels broken-in from the first chord. Combined with a modern 9.5″ radius Indian Laurel fingerboard, it makes navigating the 12 strings feel natural, not like a chore. The custom-designed 12-string bridge, which allows for both top-loading and string-through-body configurations, is a thoughtful touch that makes string changes easier and enhances tuning stability.

Fender-Designed Tone

The engine driving this shimmer machine is a pair of Fender-Designed Alnico Single-Coil pickups. They deliver that classic Telecaster bite and clarity, but with the added richness and harmonic bloom that only a 12-string can provide. From glassy, chorus-like cleans to pushing a fuzz pedal into a swirling vortex of sound, these pickups capture the expanded frequency range with articulation and punch. It’s the perfect tool for adding depth to tracks or creating huge, immersive soundscapes on stage.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

It’s surprisingly solid. The combination of the specialized 12-string bridge, which allows for string-through-body tension, and the vintage-style tuners does a great job of keeping all twelve strings in check. Like any 12-string, it requires a little extra attention, but this design is one of the most stable we’ve come across, especially at this price point.

Not at all. While it excels at those shimmering clean tones, the Fender-Designed Alnico pickups have enough output and bite to handle overdrive and even heavy fuzz. Troy Van Leeuwen himself uses these kinds of textures in heavy rock settings. It creates a massive wall of sound with distortion, full of complex overtones.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
