Get 'em while you can. The great, weird and wonderful Paranormal series is being discontinued. Very few in-stock models still on Fender's website.

A friend of mine bought a red refurb from Franklin Guitar Works with 10 percent code and free shipping a month ago for around $250. It looks brand new and sounds awesome. Link: https://franklinguitarworks.com/p...d07c&_ss=r
I bought a blue Gretsch that also looks and plays like new for $323. Franklin has been awesome so far.

I can't do the Laurel personally, I'd try it at guitar center before committing

This particular model I can't speak to. No info on that. But the Paranormal ones are a rotating series and may come and go. I've been hearing they're "discontinued' for five years now. I imagine they're some of their top seller.

I've got the white with read pearloid. I put the Pure Vintage 65 pickups in mine. Noticeably clearer than the originals. My only electric 12 string. Probably only one I'll ever need.

Sounds like someone just likes to whine when they aren't informed. They are discontinued; there will be no more new models. Got it? Great!

People must hate Lake Placid Blue. Always the color on sale. Great color in my opinion! Looks even better than in the pictures.

Got a green one at this price for Christmas. Swapped out the pickups for fralin noiseless. Great guitar. I was skeptical due to China and squier, but this is well crafted and fun to play. Would highly recommend at this price.

12 string? Nah. I guess this could be good for playing Lush covers.

I have a JMJM too and I swapped the neck out lol. it's dry and grainy and feels like nails on a chalkboard but to each their own. you know JMJM's used to come with rosewood right? laurel = fender ensh*ttification unfortunately
