Tuxedo cues aren't cheap.
They are considered holy grail materials especially combined. It has to be jet black and no grains.

I don't believe you.Funny you mention that, I have 2 Tux’s and they are in hiding.
I’ve seen pics of some monster Tux collections.
They are among my favorite looking cues, not sure why I’ve never really collected them. One of the 2 I have I played with for years.
You don't have two but probably 10. LOL
These museum cues need to come with museum grade shafts as well. They're like a paintings using only half the canvas.
Honest just 2 , a SW and a Cantando , much as I like them for some reason which I can’t explain why I never kept any(I’m certain I’ve bought and sold lots back in the day)
I have a loaded 8pt Barry that’s just Ebony and Ivory that goes into maple so that’s not a proper tux.

Fatboy <——-wants a tux to wear (I’ve never owned one of those)
I don’t have anything in that price range however that’s more than enough to find a very good cue. Good luck finding one-they are out there

Well, I am not having any luck with this next cue purchase. So it looks like I might just go with this one.

That's a nice one. The design will transition much better into the the blank white shaft and odds are it'll be a great player as well. Funny, if that were a Viking or a Mac it'd be around 1500.Well, I am not having any luck with this next cue purchase. So it looks like I might just go with this one.

I had a beautiful Tim Scruggs Ebony and Ivory box cue that Gary Nolan (Bushwhacker) RIP traded me for a gorgeous Southwest I owned around 2006. Always a nice design combination but I've never kept one as a daily player. I always find some inexpensive cue that seems to outplay the monsters.
When I’m looking for something to use as a player I never consider the price. Gary Nolan was a good guy
If anybody can point me to a cuemaker that can make me a Ebony/Bone cue in the not too distant future you better start pointing. Just about to pull the trigger on another Joss cue.

What the OP wants is called a Tuxedo cue and I use to own one. Not to be confused with fake ivory. Then its not a tuxedo. I try to reserve the tuxedo description for ivory.
It would be great to have one right now since I heard Ebony is/will be banned due to its population reduction. Ivory is already banned. So what we have here is a very desirable cue.
Mine was all ebony decked out with ivory with ivory joints and ferrule. I use to break with it too so the joint was splitWished I still had it. Didn't match my clothes but was a pretty good shooter. Decent. Not great.
I had a Mike Sigel custom Tuxedo cue, that I really loved. Really miss that cue.

There is one on ebay. A Porper Tuxedo cue. All Ebony and Ivory, I believe. I would be very tempted, if I had the money to buy it.

I believe ZEN cues are from Taiwan. And, other custom cue maker from there, who build SW Style cues.
