One custom, who would you have build it?

I think local is the way to go: Being from Boston, I'd want to give Mike Webb a fat commission, or maybe try getting Tony Zinzola to bite... Zinzola was a real loss.
 
I've always been dazzled by Dan Dishaw's higher end cues. I'd probably give him a shot.

Runner-ups, just because I like what they're doing a lot -

Kent Davis
Dave Barenbrugge
BHQ Custom Cues
 
I guess my answer is Leon Sly since I ordered one else from him yesterday.

Not only does he make stunning cues, there never seems to be issues with him.

I could never wait for some of the biggest names, 5 months is going to be hard enough, let alone some guys with 2-12 year waits. I might be dead by then.
 
Keith Josey... Yeah, I love my traditional styled Josey that much. Best (for me) feel I've ever shot with. I'm not a collector, so it really is the hit for me.
 
If I were to try someone it would be Leon Sly. He's up and coming & does great looking work.
 
Well considering the question asked, I have always wanted a dream cue done by Richard Black. I have been wanting a cue of his since my college days. And that goes back to the mid 80's. So Richard would be my first choice.

But I also have always loved the quality and design style of Ernie G. Keith Josey has a great unique style that I also love. And the quality work of Thomas Wayne and Paul Drexler are also on my serious want list.

In the last couple of years I have come up with a cue set design idea that I really want to have produced. The set would be 2 player cues with different joints, a break cue, a jump cue, a masse cue, and a bridge cue. And all the cues would be based on the same base design which would be a modern take of the Brunswick 360 and built around my favorite combination of woods and inlay materials. Most likely I would have the whole set made by Jacoby as one of my best friends has had a strong relationship with Jacoby and I have seen them deliver over 2 dozen custom orders for my friend over the years. And they hit each cue out of the ball park on each design and quality of execution.

So when I finally find myself in a position to order my own custom cue(s) I know what I will have done, and know that Jacoby will be able to deliver what I want, and it will be done within my financial budget. And I will be happy with the finished product.
 
Dave Barenbrugge !
I got one as daily player , a priceless gem. My future cues will be Barenbrugge's , no doubt, no hesitation.
 
hmm....if I get to keep my Runde then I'd go with Tascarella probably. That's definitely a cue I want to own someday.

I have to agree if I had a cue made today it would be from Leon Sly.
