Through a little research I have found out that Andy Gilbert cues have a little bigger butt than most cues today at around 1.28" thick. At 68 years old I prefer a bigger butt than today's standard. Being old school I also like iv**y joints and inlays. I am looking to spend up to 3.5k and maybe a little more if the cue "hits me". Please message me with pics, length and size of shafts and cue thickness at the very back of the cue (in inches).

Brian at J&J America has a nice selection of Gilbert cues with white joints. Don't know about ivory though but they look pretty fancy and in your price range. Here is a link. Maybe you will like one of these. Happy Holidays sir.

They won't tell you the butt size. Too much trouble, I guess. Also, I bought a cue from them and the shaft was warped, and they wouldn't take the cue back.

Sorry to hear you had trouble. I'm shocked. I've probably done 20 different deals with Brian and not one glitch.

Not only was the shaft warped but the butt had some lathe marks or something under the clear coat on the black nowrap handle. Pictures here:

Questions about my new OB cue

Hi, I just received a new OB-124 cue in the mail from an OB dealer--my first cue. I have a couple of questions: 1) My cue did not come with a black OB sleeve. I ordered another OB cue last month from a different OB dealer, but I ended up returning it, and it came with a black OB sleeve. Do...

And, they screwed up the delivery. On their website, it says this:

I contacted them immediately upon receiving my cue, and they would not honor their guarantee. They told me if I returned cue, I had to pay a restocking fee.

In my experience, they are incompetent shysters, and I will never buy anything from them again. I'm glad you have had better experiences than me. Have you ever been able to get additional pictures or a spec out of them, like the butt size, for a cue that you are interested in?

No, I've never asked for info like that. Whenever I order a cue online from any of these places, I always ask them to "please check it for straightness and flaws" before they send it to me.
 
Tom Watters at Recollection cues has a couple of ivory Gilberts. Tom is a terrific guy who always stands behind anything he sells.

Note to OP: As I get older, I also prefer big butts. As my wife gets older, she's glad I have this preference.
 
I have a 6 point Gilbert ivory joint and inlays-full shafts but the butt is 1.25
If that works let me know and I can send u pic-real lizard wrap also
Thx Denny My cell is 570-730-8033 if you want to text me-I'm in California
