I think Todornados would be a little more visually appealing to me, if the body was a little more elongated and the pickguard design was different.
i just consider them THICC jagmasters
anyway. my thoughts on the paranormal series.
good:
pickups are good. a little hot for my liking but good.
the gloss on the necks reminds me a lot of my vista jagmaster.
they've kinda hit the ideal weight for a guitar i'm into. that might be a bit heavy for most but for me it's ideal.
they usually play pretty well after some tweeking. normally with my short scales, i stick 12's or 13's on there and they can take it quite well (with some mods to the trem)
really good fretwork on all of them.
the bad:
the wiring on the supersonic was giving me issues from day 1. in the end, i got so fed up that i removed half the loom and redid it so it was 1 volume 1 tone. the wire they used was soo thin. i went in there and replaced it with some normal wire. the switch was also god awful. it didn't chance smoothly, it felt like a massive thunk between pickup changing.
all 3 came with super dry fretboards. i don't actually hate how laurel fretboards look but the 3 i've ordered came super dry.
the colour of the laurel fretboards can be super inconsistant. i kinda like it but it doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence when one fretboard is super light and the other two are quite dar.
the tuners. their kinda trash. they also weren't screwed in fully on the toronado and one of the tuners doesn't even look like there's much holding it together...... i'll see if i can get a pic later. but there's quite a few dead spots in all 3 guitar's tuners. the toronado is kinda the worst for it.
this is more a nitpick one but the switches on the cyclone were upside down. for me down should always be on. i get annoyed when i see it the other way around. i don't find this issue happening on fenders but i do on squiers.
