Hi all,
I have an OLD Scruggs player for sale today. I bought it from a guy that said he'd owned it for over seventeen years, and he bought it used then. Judging by the ringwork and the fact that the cloth shows through the black phenolic, and after talking to a couple of Scruggs experts, it certainly looks to be over twenty years old.
The cue is made from a dark ebony and BEM and has four non veneered points that are sharp and very close to even. It has a few finish chips and some assorted dings (mostly in the butt sleeve), but nothing noteworthy. I've tried to show the blems in the last pictures (second post in the thread with pics).
The cue has two shafts with synthetic ferrules. One is approx. 12.65-12.7mm in diameter and the other is 12.1-12.3mm, depending on where you take the measurement. The ringwork is the old small dash Scruggs style with rings on each side. They are at either side of the joint and right before the buttcap.
The wrap looks to be original. The seam is tight. It is a lightly patterned leather that is almost smooth. It feels very good in your hand!
The cue weighs 19.6-19.9 oz. depending on the shaft and rolls straight. The hit is firm and has an old school feel to it. The tips look to be WB and feel about medium in hardness. The buttcap is black and has Tim's logo on it.
This cue is the ultimate player's cue and with a little refinish action, I think it would eventually be collectible, as it's an old timer from one of the best cuemakers in the business.
To top it off, it's available at SOLD!!! shipped in the US (I'll ship it out of the US, but it will be a little more on the shipping). I'm in this deal with a partner, so no trades at this time, sorry... If you have any questions, or need to see more pics, please let me know.
Thanks!
Steve

Have been quite busy with my new job, not much time for pool and not for the most important part: the AzB 
I bought mine used and couldn't imagine playing with another cue since. Mine has 4 points w/ 5 veneers, Acme pin and a nice smooth leather wrap. Top quality in every sense.
