There's something wrong with this Squier Strat-o-Sonic...

Of all the Squier Paranormal guitars released this year, I was most excited for the Strat-o-Sonic. But there was something...wrong with the one I got to play. Does it get resolved by the end of the video? Only one way to find out.

Hint: it does.

Thank you for not just shredding the whole time and actually playing the way most of us are probably gonna be playing.

Had to pause the video to check that rattle on mine, and didn’t have that issue. Glad you were able to figure it out though.

In case you didn’t know, you can get some extra tones via push/pull on the knobs. This guitar has a pretty wide variety of tones.

dang, it sounds good. no more guitars for me now, but dang these paranormals of the last few years are really keeping me

I just bought one. Love the neck, stays in tune, and sounds pretty good although I may upgrade the pups. No rattle on mine

[siegfriedhecker]

Thanks for the honest review. Sad the rattle put you off covering other aspects. Good reason to do it again (providing you like the guitar). Agree, if I owned it, I'll get the file to it.

In your defense, the Epiphones you mentioned were, in fact, their take on the Les Paul Junior and Special.

Sounds great on the higher gain! My Marshall and it would get along nicely!

I had a rattle on my Squier Offset Tele, turns out it was a slightly loose part in one of the cheap tuners - I switched them out for American Professional tuners. Not quite a drop in replacement but it fixed the issue and it plays even better now

I love my mustang micro. It's a fantastic little thing. And thanks for leaving in all the bits other YouTubers might edit out. I'm really interested to try this guitar out now. Sounds gnarly.

Glad you figured it out. I have one in the yellow color. It's sassy! I haven't noticed a rattle on mine, but now I have to go check, lol.

My first offset a couple of months ago was a 2012 Fender Blacktop Jaguar 90 and is my first p90 guitar too and can 100% recommend one Not the newest model but mine's in great shape and plays like a dream .24 in scale but soon adjust to it .

[lunamatic]

Glad it was an easy fix! It still sounds pretty amazing.

[charlesharper]

Got one. No rattling or anything. Damn thing is trying to worm it's way into favorite guitar position...

[cjhenry]

Hey guitar player lady, what do I join to get access to the discord server so I can regale you with stories and questions, and perhaps completely bogus quack guitar theories? I also gots me some pictures of my rig. Looking forward to todays video to find out what the problem is.

[mdshack]

Rock on! Great job. That guitar would sound great thru a tube amp.

I pre-ordered the Strat-o-Sonic from Sweetwater and it was delivered two weeks ago. The string tree popped off the first day. The screw broke off in the headstock. But the bigger issue is that the bridge P-90 was stripped out on arrival and no sound comes from that pup. So much for that 55 point inspection... Anyway Ill fix it myself. I ordered a Tonerider P90 to replace the faulty stock pup. I like the look but super shitty QC for a $450 guitar.

[hustlinc]

weight? neck profile? pickups alnico or ceramic?

[Rogijimbex]

It's a great guitar - mine is fantastic. Have 28 guitars - Gibson, Fenders, PRs, Gretsch. Much to compare to. The StratoSonic is great . Gotta be fair about this! Tuner rattle is no big deal. Switch them out.

I really want to pick up one of those white and gold pick guard J.Mascis Jazzmasters

[gellydesigns]

Fret issue possibly. Take a fret rocker across the frets and see which one is buzzing out. It will need to be filed down and re dressed. I can hear it as you play
