The Jazzmaster has always been a bit of an oddball — and that's exactly why guitarists love it. The Squier Paranormal Baritone Jazzmaster ST HH takes that beloved offset body and pushes it somewhere darker, deeper, and decidedly heavier. With a 27" baritone scale length, dual alnico humbuckers, and a voice tuned for the low end, this guitar isn't just reaching for new territory — it's planting a flag there.
Low-End Power With Serious Presence
A standard-scale guitar in drop tunings can start to feel flabby and unfocused. The Baritone Jazzmaster doesn't have that problem. Its extended 27" scale length keeps every note tight and articulate, even when you're digging into the lowest registers. Pair that with a string set voiced specifically for baritone playing and the result is crushing, cinematic tone that stays controlled no matter how hard you push it.
27" Baritone Scale Length: Built for deep, low-tuned performance, this extended scale keeps string tension dialed in and every note punchy, focused, and defined — no flub, no compromise.
Dual Fender-Designed Alnico Humbucking Pickups: These HH pickups deliver powerful, full-bodied output with the warmth and character that alnico magnets are known for, giving your riffs real weight and presence.
3-Way Toggle Switch: Navigate between bridge, both, and neck humbucker voicings to explore a surprisingly versatile range of low-tuned tones — from tight, grinding attack to warm, atmospheric depth.
Built to Shred, Not Just Intimidate
A guitar that sounds massive but plays like a workout bench is only half the job. The Paranormal Baritone Jazzmaster was built with real players in mind, keeping the feel comfortable and the control intuitive across long sessions and heavy riffing alike. The neck profile and fingerboard appointments are distinctly Fender in spirit — smooth, responsive, and thoroughly playable.
Slim "C"-Shaped Neck Profile: Designed for comfort and speed, this profile fits naturally in your hand without forcing awkward technique, making it easy to riff for hours without fatigue.
Bound Indian Laurel Fingerboard with Pearloid Block Inlays: The fingerboard adds smooth playability and visual character, while the block inlays give the whole guitar a cool, vintage-meets-modern aesthetic that looks as good as it plays.
Satin Urethane Neck Finish: Unlike glossy finishes that can drag and stick under your palm, the satin urethane treatment feels natural and fast, keeping your playing fluid and uninterrupted.
Rock-Solid Stability for Uncompromising Tone
Baritone guitars live and die by their intonation and tuning stability. Drop the pitch, increase the string tension, and suddenly your bridge, tailpiece, and tuners are doing a lot more work. The Paranormal Baritone Jazzmaster was spec'd specifically to handle the demands of extended-range, low-tuned playing — so your guitar stays in tune and in character, night after night.
Adjusto-Matic Bridge with Stopbar Tailpiece: This setup locks in precise intonation across the full fretboard and provides excellent sustain, making every note bloom and every chord ring out with solid, consistent clarity.
Baritone String Set: Factory-strung with a purpose-built baritone string set, this guitar arrives tuned and ready for low-end performance right out of the box — no guesswork, no setup gymnastics.
Vintage-Style Tuning Machines: Reliable and smooth, these tuning machines hold pitch dependably during heavy playing and keep the guitar's classic Jazzmaster aesthetic intact.
A Baritone Built for the Bold
The Squier Paranormal Baritone Jazzmaster ST HH is the kind of guitar that rewards players who want to go further down the sonic rabbit hole. It brings together the iconic Jazzmaster silhouette, the deep voice of a true baritone scale, and player-friendly features at a price point that doesn't require a second mortgage. For riff-writers, cinematic composers, and low-end enthusiasts alike, this is a guitar that punches far above its weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Paranormal Baritone Jazzmaster is designed for baritone tunings like B-to-B or A-to-A, a step or two below standard guitar tuning. Its 27" scale length and baritone string set keep things tight and articulate in those lower registers.
It's playable for beginners but tends to resonate most with players who already have a handle on the basics and are looking to explore extended-range or low-tuned playing. The slim "C" neck and comfortable setup make the learning curve manageable either way.
It shines in heavier genres like metal, doom, and post-rock, but the dual humbuckers and versatile switching also make it a strong pick for surf, shoegaze, and cinematic or ambient styles. Basically, if your music lives in the low and dramatic end of the spectrum, this guitar fits right in.
A standard guitar scale is typically 25.5", so the Paranormal Baritone's 27" scale adds notable string tension, which helps keep lower tunings feeling defined and punchy rather than loose and muddy. The longer scale also has a subtle effect on feel and tone, producing a slightly more focused, piano-like note response.
Technically yes, but it's not really what it was built for — using a baritone guitar in standard E tuning with a baritone string set will result in very high string tension and a stiff, uncomfortable feel. For the best experience, tune it to B-to-B or A-to-A and let it do what it does best.
