NGD: Squier Paranormal Super-Sonic WARNING - SPARKLE CONTENT
So.....this is the one that got away! I have an original Vista Series in silver sparkle (which has yellowed quite a bit) and had always wanted the blue one but the $$$ was always too much. Like others here, when these were reissued a few years ago I hoped for the sparkle finish and was disappointed and so never pulled the trigger. When I saw the pre-order for this reissue it was a no brainer!
I was told these would be shipping in September (in Australia) but got an email the other day to say it had arrived Picked it up yesterday and am surprised at how the nice the finish is. The sparkle looks fantastic and the next is very smooth with a slight gloss finish. Haven't compared with the original yet but it feels to be in the same ball park.
Not too sure about the quality of the tuners but I need to put on some heavier strings and see how it goes. Also haven't had time to run through my rig yet, will hopefully get to that today.

That's beautiful! I have the ice blue metallic but that blue looks so much more vibrant. Congrats!

So jelly! I bought the LPB one last year but I didn't know they were going to make a sparkle version.
It was integral to my band's last record though so I'm glad I had it. But the sparkle ones are soooooo sweet!

That's just about my ideal shade of blue sparkle. Wow. Congrats. That's crazy sharp.

I did NOT need to see this! (I recently got a Vintera Mustang, no more gear for a while).
Looks amazing!
The Super-Sonic is about the only Fender/Squier I want that I don’t already own.
