My King case buying experience

[bmeek]

After reading so many negative experiences with cue makers, I felt compelled to share my recent experience with Al King in getting a case made. I had always admired pics of Al's work, so I reached out to him to see if he could make me a 3x4 with a couple tweaks I had in mind. Al was immediately responsive and continued to be communicative throughout the design process and as all milestones were reached. I cannot overstate how great Al was to deal with and I am absolutely amazed by the workmanship that went into this case, it truly exceeded my expectations and couldn't be happier.



Hastily taken pics from my phone below, thanks for reading and a huge thank you to Al King!

Agree 100% on all counts! Al is awesome to work with and a true craftsman, I couldn’t be happier with my King case, it’s the best I’ve ever had and it’s what I have played out of since I got it.

Beautiful and stealthy case you have there!

Thanks slide13, I already know I am doomed to get another one after giving Al a break from me for a bit, lol.

Very nice. Care to share the price point?

I had one similar that he had to sell because I couldn't pay the rest. I'd guess between $800-$950

Thank you all.

I'll defer to Al on specific pricing, but I will say it was much less than I have spent on similar cases and the quality is truly exceptional.

Gentleman, I thank you all.
Twenty five years ago building my first cue case I would have never imagined receiving the recognition that has been given today.
Thank you.

Thanks again Al, and please continue to make cases for another 25 years.

I would like to have seen a picture of the interior.

I would like to have seen a picture of the interior.

It’s a standard JB 3x4/2x5 interior. I can take a pic when I’m allowed back in the basement. It’s currently too dangerous as there’s a teen sleepover going on right now.

No need. I have a JB Rugged 3x6. I get the idea. Fine interior for what looks like a fine case!
