Cue ID

Any thoughts?

No clue but garczar likeee this bad boy.

That ringwork and vertical bar work is very tasty. Whoever made this knew his stuff.

Not to be captain obvious here but it does kind of look like Searing's ring work.

Have you reached out to Dennis?

That 'DS' is probably a good clue. Good call.

Definitely John Guffey

John Guffey

Good choice too. He did 8ptr's with verticle bars too.

Don't know but I like like it.

I’m convinced it’s definitely a Guffey. I believe Dennis made the 3rd shaft, though.

If you look at the shaft to the left of the Searing, you can see what looks like faint “JG” in pencil.

Old school cue makers and custom cues have sort of been a relic for the last couple of years. I expect to see more of these identification threads since most people will not know who these cue makers are.

You just don't see many customs with the influx of carbon cues and production cues. There will still be people asking who made it.

Living in Tulsa there were quite a few Guffey's around back in the day. Really nice cues.

 

[billiards_watch]

It's a great looking cue.

Damn it! I was going to make a low offer before it was identified! LOL!

She's a sexy piece.

Your type of cue.

 

[Chopdoc]

Your type of cue.

Mostly. It hits most of the marks for me but I do prefer a different joint. Definitely a looker, most probably a player. Definitely would not mind owning it.

I was hot to ID it when I saw it but that was already done.

Thought of you today Chopdoc.. Someone posted a "Ross" pool cue with a $250 buy-it-now on eBay.

Was a early 90's Joss TP-06.
