The design, conceived by former Squier marketing manager Joe Carducci, is said to have been inspired by a photograph in which Jimi Hendrix is pictured playing a Fender Jazzmaster upside down.

Like many other Fender offset designs, the Super-Sonic is a short-scale (24-inch) guitar, and also features a 22-fret bolt-on neck with a reversed CBS-style large headstock.

The revived model was made in China and featured a poplar body available initially in two different finishes (2020 Graphite Metallic, Ice Blue Metallic) with a further two finishes added in 2021 (Blue Sparkle, Shell Pink), a C-shaped maple neck, an Indian laurel fretboard with a 9.5 inch radius, and narrow-tall frets.
