Paranormal presence


This was the buzz just days ago; an Epiphone bridge being used in a Paranormal Series Squier Strat-O-Sonic. The Squier spokesperson said it was unintentional which is hard to believe. How can you not realize it's an Epiphone part; the name was there & plain to see. There's no ruling out the fact that the factory handling the Squiers are also doing Epiphones & convenience was it. The other possibility - there is a need for a non-F Spaced bridge which is what the Epiphone bridge is. Why non-F Spacing was required? The P90 does not come in an F-Spaced version so a Fender fixed bridge would misalign the strings against the pickup pole pieces.
