Corporate Merger Announcement: Telecaster and Jazzmaster have officially combined operations. Against all reasonable expectations, management reports that the merger was an outstanding success.
The Limited Edition Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SJ takes the unmistakable snap and simplicity of a Telecaster and installs it in the comfortable, contoured body of a Jazzmaster. Finished in shimmering Ice Blue Metallic with a matching painted headstock, bound fingerboard, and pearloid block inlays, this strange little Fender-family experiment looks considerably more expensive than its nameplate suggests.
This instrument has been professionally inspected, tested, and prepared with care. The electronics operate properly, the neck is comfortable and responsive, and the guitar is ready for immediate service. Please review the detailed photographs for the best representation of its cosmetic condition.
There's a difficult to feel and even more difficult to see ding on the player's side heel.
Its Fender-designed Alnico pickup pairing is where the model becomes especially interesting. The Telecaster-style bridge pickup supplies the expected bite, twang, and cutting upper-midrange response, while the Jazzmaster-style neck pickup adds a broader, warmer voice with plenty of clarity for chords, ambient textures, and clean lead work.
The controls go far beyond a traditional Telecaster. Pulling the volume control places both pickups in series for a thicker, louder sound that approaches humbucker territory. The push/pull tone control reverses the phase when both pickups are selected, producing a leaner, wiry response that works beautifully for funk, indie rock, and layered studio parts. Between the standard parallel combination, muscular series setting, and out-of-phase options, this guitar covers a surprisingly large tonal range without cluttering the control layout.

This is an excellent choice for anyone who loves traditional Fender sounds but wants something less predictable than another standard Telecaster or Jazzmaster. It has the familiar snap, warmth, and simplicity of both designs, plus enough switching flexibility to get legitimately weird when the situation calls for it.
