Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

I've only seen 3 of Mike Gulyassy built cues and own two of them Earl Strickland had the third , I feel I can't get a cue that will hit a ball any better .
I still appreciate custom cues and will check the for sale page on a regular basis just to see what is being offered because it's a big wide world out there and my part of it is very small , my thirst for knowledge is way out there and as I've said before I love the game of pool !

In some ways I feel sad for them not wanting more from a cue that the next person who walks in to play pool has the same cue they're playing with ha ha yes this maybe a bit far fetched but the chances are growing at a fast rate .

Keep your eyes open.

You may see a 4th.

I may put my 60" white ebony on up for sale at some point.

I need to start downsizing a bit...I have more than a dozen that are becoming closet queens.

Refinishing stained cue. Risk of sanding removing the stain?

Well...The update: I decided to not attempt the restoration, and since a few friends started to give me offers for it after borrowing it occasionally, I decided to let the mezz go and forced myself to make my first cue, since I'm without a breaker. I will see how my house cue conversion plays tomorrow, fingers crossed, since I need it to be good :LOL:.

A lot can be learned through house cue conversions. You can learn how to even out points, retaper a shaft, install a joint pin, time a joint so that the grain matches from butt to shaft. You can also use it as an opportunity to learn how to balance out and finish a cue. The nicest thing about these is your materials are already aged, although they still can move after retapering . I learned that the hard way early on in my cuemaking journey. The finish encapsulates the wood and protects it from extreme humidity swings so if you strip the cue and dont seal it fairly quick it is very much at the mercy of relative humidity.

Gold Crown 7 Revealed

$2,750 price reduction over the GC6 tournament edition with gully. The GC7 is the same price for any of the 4 pocket sizes, and all are gully tables. I think the GC6 might have went up in price since this thread started, possibly due to tariffs? There might have been a screenshot of it from a while back, IDK now.

Delivery and install is $700 extra. So $13,700 for a 9' installed. I think that's about what a new 9' Diamond goes for now, including delivery. Maybe its 1k more than the Diamond.
