Definitely made in China. I have the sticker to prove it lol.

Was the sticker on the cue or the packaging?

If I were you, I'd take a picture and report the seller to ebay if they were listing cues as made by ADAM-Japan and then shipping Chinese made cues with stickers to prove it.

The only cues still made in Japan are the Musashi and some custom billiard cues

Aren't these one in the same? Musashi are custom made-to-order. They produce cored billiard and carom cues as well as snooker cues.

Outside of Exceed, Musashi are the predominant big brand of Japan. Their carom cues are popular in South Korea and it seems many are sold there.

There are places like NewArt that have Musashi cues in stock. I've been told that ADAM is not taking custom orders currently.

Yes you are correct as it's highlighted on the Adam Japan website.

Shops like Newart and Cueshop I imagine put themselves on long waiting lists because they only seem to get stock in very small numbers and not very often. I've been following those two shops as well as ER Sports for the best part of 3 years and the Musashi cues when they become available, do not last very long. What generally remains are the lesser attractive designs.

Lately they've been producing cues that reflect the older style designs that most are familiar with.
