The Featured Custom for April is up, and it's an absolute classic that is bound to set tongues wagging. Mica and the folks at the shop have outdone themselves again; so click on the link and let us know what you think. |

Congrats to the committee on their new bass! I'm wondering how the Olive wood used for the humx coil in the pickups will affect the tone. |

One of my buddies just texted me after seeing this on Facebook and told me:"Dude I told you it was Olympic, you keep calling it wrong" :/ Thanks Mica, you just ruined years of hard work trying to correct people hahaha. |

Glad you guys enjoyed it! It's always fun to think up these things. Paul-the "secret inlay" is just what we call an inlay on the back of the peghead. |

You can't fool us, Bill; we know Squiers were never MIM! But I'll take #10 & the 12er to help you with your MII dream. Peter (who was born on April 1. Really.) |
