Does anyone here have any experience, or opinions about Early Adam Custom Shop Musashi cues?

Original is this in various wood combos. Here is one of them.

Oh, wow, that looks so awesome. Love that so much. Super sharp. So colorful. Makes the one I posted a pic of look generic, lol.

The one you posted isn't a RC3. Not that I know of.

Wow, even one without veneers would cost $2400. Freaking expensive. The ones with veneers retail for close to $4k.

I think if you do a search that RC3 did do plain black veneers, and some different butt sleeve and ring designs. I am not saying whether or not the cue in question is an RC3.

How do musashi and molinari fit together?

How do musashi and molinari fit together?

Musashi pool cues are all standard 3/8x10 pin, from what I have seen. No idea about Molinari, but I think that is an Italian cue maker?

Molinari's were initially made by Predator for Lootjens. They are now made in house and are part of GDMSports(Gabriels-Dynasphere-Molinari), Lootjen's group of billiard co's. https://molinaricues.com/products/

No they are not. The also make 5/16x14 piloted steel joint pool cues. One of my favorite Mus. models: https://www-newart-co-jp.translate.goog/1574.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US These run in the $3000-3500 range.

What's your problem, man? Don't you ever have any good to say?!

I forgot the distinction was the daddy company. Doh.

That Molinari Lancia shaft looks like quite the piece for 3c. Offered in a bunch of weight/diameter options. https://molinaricues.com/shaft/lancia-shaft/

That shaft does sound sweet. Wonder if it is longoni technology licensed?

Those were made by the factory that makes Preds. Newer models, 2018 and on, are made in Belgium.

I figured that and did recall he mentioned it was a predator as a result of our earlier exchange...

Okay, well maybe in most cases, they come in 3/8x10? Because that is all I have ever seen, from the ones that I have seen, other then the Caron cues. So, maybe their preferable is 3/8x10, for most of their models.
