The only reason I don't that these are 8 piece shafts is that because Pred. used to build 8 splice shafts before applying the cat underneath the 314 logo with the 8-piece construction being a temporary, initial setup. As always, I could be wrong and am asking because maybe someone would be...

I would like some pictures as well. It's david.bredan@gmail.com Petros: I guess you meant Gus Szamboti :)

I like the... 1) Mottey, because I have never seen one like it from Paul 2) The Manzino because I could have seen (due to your documentary), how it was built and also because it is one of the nicest segmented handled cues 3) The Cantando owing to the extensive use of ivory and silver and these...

Could be a dumb question but... After looking up this thread for the 10th time (at least) I got lost in the details... ...Does anyone know whether Burton was left- or right-handed? I got to examine his handwriting in the signature and he writes absolutely the opposite way than I do (for...

Well, apparently I could catch the smell of this kind of equipment - that shot really is beautiful. It is easy to see the expertise. Thanks for the answer and the detailed setup. BUMP :)

Hello Mr H, I hope all is well! I know about macro mode, I (almost) always use it when taking pictures of cues, but I was curious this time if the picture was taken with a bridge or a DSLR camera and if the latter is the situation then what kind of a lens has been used. What has me interested...

Sorry for hijacking your thread but may I ask what camera / settings did you use for this shot? I really like it, this turned out very nice. Overall it's a super nice cue and good luck for trading for a PFD!

I am very glad that I was allowed to enrich this already thorough thread with another fantastic cue, which belongs to Steve / tikkler. He let me post his pictures here as well and I will add his story too. Enjoy :) 'It was sometime around 1992-93 I think, and Mark Kalungian from Pool Table...

As you may remember, there has been a Burton Spain thread with eighty replies, scans of the booklets - it was Manwon / Craig who shared it - and with numerous pictures of different cues built by Burton Spain. It has had tons of information and I would like to add this cue to that thread - I...

Eric, You have not sent me pics of the butt screw, I have shared all pictures that you sent except the other picture of the whole cue - that was blurry and the one I posted is great, shows the cue much better. I would post the pictures of the butt screw on Saturday if that's fine for you, just...

Hello all, First of all, please let me make things clear: this cue does not belong to me, the owner of it is Eric / Fatboy. I believe that this is - or one of - the most unique Szamboti cues ever, I am sure Eric will shed some light on its story, I know it but would rather let him tell it, I...

Seeing his cues always makes me wonder about the man behind as well... Look at the colours, the shapes and most importantly: the proportions, everything is sized, measured and calculated just perfectly. I wonder what this man would be able to do with today's equipment... Wait: take a look at...

Dear Sir (sorry, I don't know your name), I am afraid that you have misunderstood my point or perhaps I didn't make it clear. Firstly, please let me explain what I wanted to say: in my opinion Paul has reached such a level in his career whereas he doesn't need to use inferior quality materials...

...And I just don't get why someone with such resume would use overseas made blanks after having cues shown in the Smithsonian Museum... To sell them as $2000 cues after building cues in the $20,000+ range? Yeah right.

One more thought on CNC: you should educate yourself and listen the word of the masters, such as Paul F D or Ernie Gutierrez - a Ginacue interview is available and you may hear some thoughts there regarding the use of CNC equipment. I also doubt that there can be no question regarding the...

I am eagerly anticipating the moment when someone mentions this in a Ginacue or a JossWest thread in this context. NOTE: I agree with you on this one and on the taste part as well - I agree 100%, I am just wondering.

This has me interested. I have never heard / read about this anywhere - and I just don't get it. I mean once Paul has sold his cues they he's done on his part but there were MANY cue dealers selling PFD Titlist or 'Titlist' conversions and not a single word has been spoken about this. [and I...

Paul's cues have been one of the very first that I have seen when I started getting into pool cues more. My answer to the OP's question would be the following: AZ forum is large enough to have it's own market, dominated by some people and also by a couple of cue dealers - who have their own...

Hey, I dunno about the value of those three but I would like to offer one of each for this shaft - this sounds like the deal of the century :D Now, seriously, good luck with your sale, Jun! :)

I have not yet commented on the other, mind mangling blowing disturbing blowing shaking twisting, intricate one but, with all honesty, I was looking forward to this, plainer cue somewhat more - despite that it makes no sense as this should be played and not looked at, in my opinion. Could you...
