Does Francisco Bustamante have a signature cue line or make cues?

Someone told me they have a Bustamante cue... it might be just a cue that he played with and sold, but I want to get all the info before I talk to the guy again... He thinks its worth a ton of dough :grin:

I haven't seen it yet BTW...
 
bustamante is sponsored by bear cues, a production cue i think from europe. its rumored he plays with a black boar shaft attached to his bare butt..lol

Bear cues (not bare) (do not mix with mark bear custom cues)
Bear cues are (or at least were) OEMed by Falcon cues.
You can see their line of cues here
He used to play with a Black Boar for a while, I guess he stopped when he got the Bear sponsorship.
Before the phenolic tipped break cues hype, he used a Bear butt with a Predator 314 shaft as a break cue, later he had an x-breaker phase and during the 2008 WPC I saw him using a Cuetec break cue.

He used to play with a ginacue and also with a BB cue....but currently his using a BEAR cues with either BB shaft or schon shaft...He was using a Schon shaft at DCC this year :)

Well if its one of his Ginas or BBs that would be cool, but I will laugh if this guy shows me a signed Bear cue...

He wants to play me for my James White custom (below)

as for Bustamante's own line of cues, he has none. as mentioned in the posts above, Django is sponsored by Bear Cues. :)

This cue is equivalent to a mid range falcon.


Bear Cues in Germany has what is called the 'Bustamante Cue' with a signature on it. I am willing to bet that is what he's talking about.

I personally wouldn't pay more than $3-400 for it.
