Want to trade for “The” magic wand/s

Ok, it has taken me a month to post this thread. So here goes!

And I preface this; Mods, if I am, in any way, violating forum rules, I will delete this.

I am a guitar player. I know there are guitar players here. I have a modest collection of 6 strings and I am looking to trade 2 away. I have been playing for 40+ years and life is catching up. I have Dupuytren's contracture, predominantly in my fretting hand, and has really fucked up my playing. Surgery is inevitable but the ability is never to be recovered.

So! Since I can still make a bridge with that hand I thought I would see if I can make a trade.

I suggest a trade because, even though it would be easier to sell for cash, then buy, once the cash hits the bank account it’s fair game for the wife.
However, a trade is of no consequence.

For trade:

2021 limited edition Fender George Harrison Rosewood tele. Played but have the case and all the candy etc. Never been out of the house. Trade value $4000

1978 Gibson ES-347 in excellent condition. Little buckle rash on the back, slight fret sprout, gold with almost no tarnish. Original case. Trade value $5500

I want to use an escrow agent and a video call for both parties to feel comfortable with the process, I will play it and confirm functionality, and all the images you want. We can figure out shipping and I would make sure the packaging was bullet proof. I would even consider traveling for a face-to-face depending on location and cue.

I want:

To trade for Excalibur/s, one for one, two for one etc.
- Bushka (lol of course)
- Zambo
- modern builder Like Cohen “Doom”
- ???

I love the classic Bushka style, linen wrap but not opposed to “other” no “natural material” cash on either side to make up any difference if needed.

Hit me up over PM if any of this sounds interesting. Maybe too complicated of an idea but thank you for reading.

2025 Men's World 10-Ball Championship, Sept. 20-28 -- General Comments Thread

Imagine if the Masters champion from 2024 failed to receive an invite to the US Open in 2026. Laughable.
Doesn’t sound as bad as I thought listening to Panozzo on Doggin It. The federations had 32 picks or some such. The top 32 or so in WPA rankings got invites. Predator had 16 wildcards. They gave all former champions an auto if they wanted it. That allowed Ko Pin Yi and Eklent Kaci to get invites they otherwise probably wouldn’t.

Predator likely gave wild cards to SVB, Shaw, perhaps Yapp, but they had very few to hand out.

Residue of last year’s dispute, clearly. It seems Predator tried to get all the big names it could, but the WPA, the federations and Predator also had to reward the players who abided by their rules.

FSR was likely the main source of Panazzo for much of his info, reading between the lines. Sounds like he was invited to the qualifiers, but turned it down. He hasn’t played a lot of WPA events the past year. Players will have to play more in WPA events to get invited in the future.

Well within reason for Predator-WPA to expect that. Just like players have to attend lots of WNT events to get spots for invitationals such as Reyes, Mosconi, PLP, WPM, etc.

Kielwood Cue Shaft - Possibly F/S

Hey Now…..as old Hank would say on a old HBO series…… thanks for posting.
I thought it was a great endorsement of Jim Pierce and especially his KW shafts.

It’s by coincidence he and I happen to share the same views about pool cues and
cue shafts. Now it also turns out we have similar views about Jim Pierce’s skills.

Jim never hesitated for a moment when I initially asked if he could build a couple
of flat faced KW shafts 4 ozs or heavier. He didn’t bother to ask shaft diameter or
anything. I had barely finished that question before he simply replied, “How soon do
you need them?” There was no sense of hesitancy and so when I said but without
any weight inserts, just wood and no coring, he just asked what’s my timeframe?

Jim was so confident in his ability to build exactly what I wanted it was reassuring.
I had friends playing with his cues and I got to test drive a 30” version while my shafts
we’re being made. It weighed 4 ozs and my shafts were 29” so I still was wondering.

Nope, both shafts are exactly what I wanted built and dead on weights (4.0 ozs. and
4.15 ozs.). The two KW replace orig. maple shafts my cue makers built and actually
will fit on 5 of the 6 cues in my cue case. I already have a KW shaft for my other cue.

Thanks again for posting the video. The Rocket plays with the same type shaft from the
same cue maker I was lucky enough to pick to build my Kielwood shafts. We both like to
play with a heavier version Kielwood (uncored) cue shaft built by cue maker Jim Pierce.

Finally Made It To Evansville

I've been there before. But it's mostly 7-footers. Last time I was there they only had the one big table, the 9' Diamond ProAm. But usually there are alot of people at O'Brian's and it's hard to get on the big table. That's why I drove further into town to the Mall. I didn't think there would hardly be anybody there. And there wasn't. Including any tables worth a hoot to play on.

That place in the mall is a Dive, as you now know. You would have been able to get on the 1 big table that O'Brians has, if you got there when they open. I remember they would offer free pool if you purchased lunch, and their food was really good.

I miss Evansville. Such a neat town.

O'Brians was the only nice pool hall in town though. I imagine nothing has changed.
