What to do with a broken Gus Szamboti?

[Rusty in Montana]

Feels like you should sell it. I’m sure there would be buyers interested.

That's a definite possibility , it would depend on the story behind the " break " as who did it and why for full disclosure purposes of course .

I've never seen a cue with a longer joint collar/piece, but could you make a longer ivory joint? Maybe sleeve it over a small maple piece you attach to bring it back to 29"? Or just have a longer ivory joint? Interesting project!

I like the added features you are having installed, looks like it will flow nicely. The case is not to shabby either!!

Just curious, is Tascarella still using Ivory?

Pete Jr is making the cues in West Virginia, no issues with ivory there...

I’d buy this cue after repair since it will be actually done by the cue maker I thought would do the best job.
Another Szam I always wanted was the cue collaboration made by Barry Jr and his dad. It is the cues with
a unique provenance that intrigue me the most. That how I got around to designing most of my cues. A cue
is always just a cue after all. When there is a bit of history to the cue that distinguishes it, those are the best.
