Saw these on Reddit and then . Some new Squiers are beginning to leak:

Rascal Bass
Jazzmaster XII
P90 Strat
Esquire Deluxe
Nashville Tele

Looks like the bass is also going to be available in black:

It took them only 20 years to reissue the Stratosonic. I've almost lost interest in playing guitar and a few people I knew who wanted one are dead but Fender never dissapoints.

I’ve been thinking about a XII since selling my Alternate Reality XII. Was hoping Squier would reissue the Venus XII when they made one, but this is nice too I guess.

I like the rascal bass a lot, especially handsome in black, but I really don’t need another bass and don’t want to sell what ai have…I might try to convince my bass player to get one lol

Is Nashville tele/strat bound?

I’m gonna be completely honest, these do nuthin’ for me.

Cookes are taking pre-orders for:
squier-paranormal-jazzmaster-xii-laurel-fingerboard-tortoiseshell-pickguard-olympic-white £429.99

If I didn't already have a Venus XII, I'd be all over that LPB Jazzmaster XII. Can't really justify having more than one twelve string though.

Quite like the green Rascal bass.

If I didn't already have a Burns Double Six, I'd be all over that LPB Jazzmaster XII. Can't really justify having more than one twelve string though.

That was my feel with the last wave. Bought the cyclone out of FOMO and always regretted it.

Really am missing a XII though, not in love with the color combos, but either could be improved with the right pickguard. And as it is I’d be waiting for a sale/open box I think.

I missed out on the Fender Alternate Reality Series XII and I still want one.

I am definitely getting one of those Jazzmaster XIIs if they play decent.

Anyone else thinking FMIC will make the same play again where they raise all their prices up by 25% the minute these come out?

Nick and BearBoy were bots/aliases. Who knew?

12 strings are a hoax, they don't exist

Do you take me for a fool? No one can play twelve strings at once with only five fingers.

Open tuning ftw.

I really dig the Esquire and the P90 Strat.

The P90 Strat has the look of the older Toronado guitars with p90s. Everything including the finish and pickguard. Love the black headstock.

It's a reissue of the Stratosonic that they made like15 years ago(I did exaggerate with 20 years before)

What was your impression on the Alternate Reality XII?

It was really nice quality, I liked everything about it aside from the weight (it was nearly 9 lbs) and the weird bridge plate situation (aesthetics). The pickups had a nice sound and the neck was comfortable for a XII. I only sold it because it was worth more than I had into it and couldn’t justify having such an expensive 12 string for how infrequently I played it.

Selling it started the trade sequence that ended with the prison stang so I can’t complain too much
