Ernie is almost finished with my new lifetime player so I was planning on auctioning off my old lifetime player next Sunday. If anybody would like to buy it before the auction, the first Sorry Sold Sold Sold will take it. The cue weighs just under 19 ozs, both shafts are 13mm. The cue is 58 inches, straight with either shaft together and apart. One shaft has been played for about 1 year, the other has been test hit. There are no dings, dents, damage, scratches or condition issues.

Ivory joint, leather wrap, ebony and ivory Gina joint protectors, 5 points with ivory peacocks and flame veneers, ivory mirrored peacocks and dots in the butt, ebony and ivory trim rings at A,B,C,D and E. Ivory ferrules of course.

Ernie did not mark this cue 1 of 1, so he retains the right to make another (good luck with that), but this is the only Ginacue of this design in existence.

Let me know if you have any questions

Thanks

This cue is a beaut, feels great in your hands, cuts through the balls like butter. Nice cue here.

Good luck with your sale Kevin, although I don't think luck will be needed.

Did you see the post where I remembered the proper term was "Rally Girls"?

Thanks

Yes, thanks. But I still like Rally girls :). But spirit girls will do too, I just like the concept.

Ernie Gutierrez (like myself) is blessed with a spouse who is ALWAYS in a good mood. She fell out when I told her that she was his

Glee Girl.

See? Your influence is still felt.

Beautiful! :thumbup:

Good luck with sale!

Greetings from Switzerland, David.

That is the most precise execution I think I have ever seen. The pictures either all line up absolutely perfect on the tops or he fits in the odd sized one, then makes a perfect bottom alignment with it. WoW!

The cue ain't bad either. :thumbup:

GL with your sale.

Best,

Ernie is a lot of things, really a unique individual in so many ways. If you were to describe him using a series of single words, one would be wrong if "precise" was not mentioned in the first 5.

I find it difficult to get three or four pictures to hang nicely in a row at my house.

What does he have in his office, sixty, a hundred? Look at the spacing and straightness. :bow-down: :bow-down: :bow-down:

I guess that precision ain't such a big deal when compared with his cues.

Ernie is also a tool guy. He has a dedicated lathe for each task. No mussy setting and resetting his lathe for each task. When he gets cooking on a 50 cue batch (like he is now), he becomes part machine himself, those that have seen it will stand around in awe. Ernie at work, snick snick snick, like watching Keith run out.

So Ernie and I are playing pool at Hollywood Billiards. I'm sliding a coin under the rail and get it stuck. I'm jacking with it and jacking with it, stuffing it further under and more stuck as I go along until I finally give up, coin 1/2 way under the rail and (as far as I'm concerned) stuck for life. Ernie takes a knife, slides it under the rail and voila! out pops the coin. Either your mind goes to "what tool will help me here" or it doesn't.

Ernie loves building cues, loves it, and will never stop (he just turned 70). But the look in his eyes, the intensity, when he is working on a machine, refining something, changing its ability to do a job for him, that's when Ernie is in heaven. He is an machinist extraordinary with a very artistic eye, demands precision, has extreme pride and is an innovator. These are really great qualities in a cue maker.

Thanks

Kevin
