Squier Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen Telecaster XII
Designed in collaboration with acclaimed alternative rock guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, the Squier Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen Telecaster XII brings a distinctive 12-string voice to the iconic Telecaster design. Known for his atmospheric and textural guitar work with bands including Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle and Failure, Van Leeuwen has helped shape some of modern rock's most creative sounds.
Combining the familiar bite and character of a Telecaster with the rich, shimmering harmonics of a 12-string, this model delivers an expanded sonic palette while retaining its unmistakable Telecaster feel. Its striking Copper Age finish, custom Telecaster XII headstock and player-friendly 12-string bridge give it a distinctive look to match its versatile sound.
The nyatoh body is paired with a comfortable maple neck featuring a slim C profile and 25.5" scale length. Fender Designed Alnico single-coil Telecaster pickups provide the familiar Telecaster tone, while the wider 12-string nut offers comfortable playability across all six pairs of strings.
