Squier Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen Telecaster XII 12-String
Designed in collaboration with Troy Van Leeuwen, renowned for his atmospheric guitar work with Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle, Failure and other forward-thinking rock bands, the Squier Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen Telecaster XII brings a fresh dimension to the classic Telecaster formula.
Combining the familiar bite and clarity of a Telecaster with the rich harmonics of a 12-string, this distinctive model delivers shimmering textures, expansive chords and layered tones. Whether you're adding depth to rhythm parts, creating atmospheric soundscapes or exploring alternative rock sounds, it offers plenty of creative possibilities.
The nyatoh body features a striking custom Copper Age finish, complemented by a maple neck with a comfortable “C”-shaped profile. Its 25.5-inch scale length and 1.6875-inch nut width provide a practical playing platform for a 12-string guitar, while the custom Telecaster XII headstock gives the instrument a distinctive appearance.
Fender Designed Alnico Telecaster single-coil pickups provide the familiar clarity and cutting character associated with the Telecaster, enhanced by the natural shimmer and harmonic richness of doubled strings. A dedicated 12-string bridge supports both top-loading and string-through-body stringing options, offering flexibility when setting up the instrument.
The Paranormal Troy Van Leeuwen Telecaster XII is an inspiring choice for guitarists looking to expand their sound with the unmistakable character of a 12-string Telecaster.
