Description
The Squier Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen XII 12-String Telecaster - Copper was designed for players who want the unmistakable chime of a 12-string paired with the familiar feel and punch of a Telecaster. Inspired by Troy Van Leeuwen's work with bands like Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle, and Failure, this signature model expands the classic Tele formula with rich harmonics, shimmering overtones, and a striking Copper finish that stands out on any stage.
The nyatoh body delivers a balanced tonal foundation, while the maple neck and Indian laurel fingerboard provide a comfortable, familiar playing experience. A pair of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups capture everything from bright, jangly cleans to thick, atmospheric textures, with a 3-way blade switch offering classic Tele versatility. The specially designed 12-string bridge combines top-load and string-through construction for solid intonation and sustain, while the custom Telecaster XII headstock completes the vintage-inspired look.
A comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile, narrow tall frets, and vintage-style tuning machines make the Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen XII surprisingly approachable for players making the jump to a 12-string. We think it's an outstanding option for guitarists looking to add depth, dimension, and unmistakable character to their sound without sacrificing the feel of a classic Telecaster.
