I think PRS did a limited run for Machinehead back in the 90s.
It's more likely to be the bigger shops (or chains) that can afford to do this, but if Marshall have the facility, they will probably end up doing limited runs for US dealers/chains as well, where there could be big money.

Not exactly much in the way of R&D here, Lee himself said they took the 50th anniversary JTM 1 and simply hardwired the two channels rather than jumpering them with a patch lead, the rest is aesthetics as youve pointed out.....
GAK already did this several years ago with runs of different colour Class 5's then a white tolex MOD target version. Other dealers then followed suit with different colours. Andertons have simply badged their amp with an anniversay plaque which is added on to the Marshall product.....
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Exactly, the publicity is the reward for Andertons - rather than selling a few hundred amps. Im thankful it was JB and not the MonkeyLord demonstrating the amp!
No ones suggesting they do or should do. Im suggesting for £6-700 you should get a better quality amp for the money!
Ok, sorry, didn't interpret your post like that. Still people will buy this as it's exclusive. That's the USP.

however, i am happy for Andertons and Lee for having their own anniversary amp. I've never had any issues with them, and in fact have always had good customer service.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I'm beginning to think most people like much more middy and compressed sounds than I do though! (Especially given some of the amps some of you like .)
