Schon Custom Cues came into existence in 1981 and we have been at our Burnham St. location since 1986. We have a miniscule output , sometimes going 2 weeks without actually finishing any cues. I frequently hear the all knowing term “production cue” applied to our cues with an implied sneer. The fact is that we are one of the oldest custom cuemakers in the world with a total staff today of 5 people. I personally design, finish and test every cue myself. Everyone here is a full time craftsman, not telemarketers or corporate hypsters. The only thing we do is make cues...Evan Clarke 1-11-05

Any thoughts?

Has anyone "truly" defined the term "Custom Cue" yet?
Yes, I did.

There should be no confusion, but apparently people who do not understand the terms as they are commonly used want to make up their own definition. Hey, I've got no problem with anyone making up their own definition, but Evan Clarke is 100% correct. People label his cues as "production cues" in a snide way. And that sucks. His cues... their cues are well in the proper terminology of "custom cues."
