Tim doesn't sell snake oil. After years of SD insisting that the JB is unchanged since it's earliest incarnation there are now at least 4 JBs available. And, if you've nailed your range what's the need for a 'custom' shop other than to extract more cash from the punters ? I still think Feline is a bit a special case though.

I have the 35th anniversary Jazz & JB set actually, and it sounds very different from the stock JB you buy normally. It was a big surprise to me, really.

If you have the time available and the manufacturing capability, I can see the sense in offering "custom" models which don't fit into the main range due to limited demand.  It would only be extracting cash which the punters wanted to spend.

Presumably that's the basis on which the Duncan custom shop operates (although someone will probably shoot me down now and tell me they're mass-produced in a sweatshop by small Indonesian children....)
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
