Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant if there is any difference between a new bicycle rider back from the shelf and a new standard tally ho deck? I the finishes and stock should be the same now?
The easy answer is yes. But when is the easy answer ever the complete answer?
They use the same paper to make their pasteboards. It's compressed to different amounts, stored under different humidity levels, giving a different finish - but the actual paper itself is pretty much the same, or at least as "the same" as any two rolls of paper can be, even from the same mill, especially with all the post-consumer recycled content these days.
As far as what's offered a Custom Department customer - there's two stocks, Bee Casino and Bicycle. They come in two finishes, embossed and smooth. The default coating is "Magic Finish," and it's the preferred coating for most custom decks these days so few ask for anything else. But if they did want something else, the only other option is "standard."
Now, is all of this the same as what's used on their "standard," production-run decks that they make for wholesale as opposed to custom orders? I have no idea. Only USPC knows, and they haven't told anyone outside the company, or at least not anyone who's talking about it.
