They're Ã‚Â£178 with free shipping for Islanders (before VAT/handling charges etc). I think that would still work out significantly cheaper than the Ã‚Â£349 the likes of Andertons are asking?

Add on about 30%. So yes, cheaper than Andertons.

I tried ordering one last week but a couple on here made it sound super expensive after import and taxes.

What a crazy pricetag. Just ordered one. Let's see if it is as good as robroe says

Go on, re-order it. Just don't forget to allow 30% to pay DPD/Hermes/whoever

is there any info why they are so crazy cheap? are they discontinued or so?

The Fender UK website is only showing the LPB version now, although it does do weird things at times.

I think the Paranormal series was limited anyway though.

Thanks to Rob I ordered one impulsively o. Sunday, and it arrived today... I was really really NOT in the need of another guitar, even less a brand new one. Even more so since I already own an original issue black Toronado!

But at Ã¢â€šÂ¬249 w/ free shipping I couldn't resist. And maaan I'm pretty damn blown away by, like, EVERYTHING this guitar is!
I was publicly complaining about the bad set-up but hey I only had to lower the string action about 5mm (...) and that solved it! Ok yes and it will need better/thicker strings.

But the quality, look, feel, sound... Damn it's all flawless. Top. Whoa!

Now I've been buying one brand new Squier a year ever since 2016. Damn!Ã°Å¸ËœÂ�

I will definitely recommend this guitar 100% to any- and everybody here.

PAT SEAL OF APPROVAL granted.

^excellent! toronados i think are my favorite all around fender guitar. granted, so many of their spec make them more gibson-like, but the fit and feel of all the models i've picked up scream "they got it right".
