Remember that Squier with the Epiphone bridge? Fender says it was unintentional and we won’t see many more of them

Squier Strat-O-Sonic with an Epiphone bridge

Fender has responded to reports that its new Squier Paranormal Series Strat-O-Sonic uses an Epiphone bridge, confirming to Guitar World that the branded part has indeed been included on some builds – albeit “unintentionally”.

We first wrote about the story last week, having seen a clip (via MusicRadar) that showed YouTuber Landon Bailey dismantling his new Squier Paranormal Series Strat-O-Sonic and discovering it had an Epiphone-branded bridge [see the clip below at approx. 4.40].
