Paranormal Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe – powerful humbucker tone

Designed for players who crave a Telecaster feel with the weightier sound of humbuckers, the Paranormal Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe mixes classic Fender aesthetics with modern flexibility. The product name appears in this opening paragraph as the focal point of the description.

Standout features that set it apart

What makes this guitar unique is the combination of a poplar body finished in a high‑gloss black lacquer and a full‑size Bigsby B‑50 vibrato, a pairing rarely seen on standard Telecasters. In addition, the Alnico humbuckers are equipped with push‑pull tone knobs that split the coils, delivering both warm humbucker tone and crisp single‑coil sparkle.

Scale and neck – player‑focused comfort

Scale length influences string tension and playability, making the 648 mm (25.5") metric figure essential for ergonomic comfort. The maple neck, bound on both sides, supports a C‑shaped profile that feels sturdy yet responsive under the hand.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — balanced tension for easy bending.
• The neck material is Maple, offering bright attack and stability.
• Neck Shape: C‑shape — familiar feel for Tele‑style gamers.

Fingerboard and hardware – precision detail

Featuring a 241 mm (9.5") radius, the fingerboard provides a slightly rounded feel that suits both chord work and lead lines. A bone nut and Indian Laurel wood enhance sustain and smoothness across the fretboard.

• Fingerboard Material: Indian Laurel — warm tonal character.
• The fingerboard radius of 241 mm provides versatility for rhythm and lead playing.
• Nut: Bone — clear note articulation.

Electronics and bridge – versatile sound shaping

Having independent volume and tone controls for each pickup lets players fine‑tune their tone on the fly, while the three‑way selector offers classic pickup combinations. The Bigsby vibrato adds subtle pitch modulation without compromising the guitar’s sustain.

• Pickups: Alnico humbuckers with coil‑split — full‑range tonal palette.
• The controls include independent volume and tone for each pickup together with a 3‑way toggle, allowing detailed sculpting.
• Bridge: Bigsby B‑50 vibrato — expressive vibrato effects.

Enthusiasts seeking a Telecaster that can handle rock‑heavy riffs and delicate clean passages will find the Paranormal Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe the right choice for studio work or stage performance. Its versatile pickup layout and Bigsby vibrato suit players who want both classic Fender feel and modern tonal flexibility.
