Some time with NO NOTHIN just Wood with grain, Cues can look great. Tony up in Northern, CA , makes elegent plan janes with micro ringwork.
I keep coming back to the "traditional" style—4 dark points into birdseye maple, a couple of veneers, white Irish linen—with a few silver & mother-of-pearl inlays.

In the world of motorcycling there's a saying; "Chrome don't get you home". I like sneaky petes.
Just some good figured wood and ill be satisfied. Heck it doesn't even need figure. No wrap and maybe a little bit of plain ringwork and nothing fancy. No silver anywhere on the cue.
I like a lot of inlays, patterns, BEM, snakewood. Not a fan of classic points. I like when cuemakers try something completely different, my cues are very unusual and I love using them, knowing that no one else has the same cue I do makes it feel more personal to me
Ghetto? Like gold grills and fake diamonds? I have no idea what ur thinking. That Palmer is extremely classy.
My favorite is the old Willie Hoppe style. I have had maybe 5 or 6 made by different cue makers. I guess my taste is not that unusal today with all the popularity of the reworked Titlest cues people are having made. I like a Rambow style butcap but with a bumper.

The ONLY thing I'd change is make it a segmented handle to boot.
Segmented wrapless handles with fancy rings and killer woods.
Forget the veneers and inlays, you guys can keep em all!
Gimme the wrapless segmented handles with burls and points!

Art is art, you know it when you see it.
I love artistry. Samsara Original cues are some of my favorite. Wildly intricate and blended folds of milti-colored multi-grained and incredibly rich in design expertise. Samsara is undeniably one of the best designed cues on the planet. I have absolutely not clue how well they play since they cost nearly as much as an -S- or an -R- (if you have to ask.....) But they shore am purdeh!
In my price range, I will take a wrapless bumperless titleist conversion copy with a piloted phenolic joint with a gigantic 3/8 x 10 pin. This is a dream cue of mine. I have heard tell that Pat Diveney and Bill Schick have done something along these lines to great effect. I cant wait to get a little cash socked away.
