Also this thing is in almost perfect condition. Like pristine. Any idea of the value of these Japanese titlist?

Maybe around $300. Some are better than others. Tough call on the wood. To me it does look like East Indian rosewood in the last couple of pics, especially the points. Brazilian rosewood usually has darker striations and a little more contrast/definition. Below are typical pics of both:

Less than 3, the really good old ones with ivory rings are barely hitting 300.

I understand that Brunswick moved its production to Japan in there later years. Does this not make it a titlist? Are they still full splice? I can't remember where but I think I read that the quality was very good on these. Am I mistaken? Hanks for all the info guys :thumbup:

They outsourced production to existing cue companies in the 1970's including Adam Japan, who made this one. I would say quality is very good and yes it would be a full splice.

Where - cause I'm going there?

Ebay, they only go higher if they are ebony or BRW. I bought one in mint condition minus a sticker with an extra custom shaft made for it for 300 even.

The rest typically go for 300-320
