Nicest customs you have picked up for under $500

Here is a 1970's Joss West (Bill Stroud) in mint condition.I bought it from the original owner.He had stored it under his bed for over 40 years.He told me that he paid $200.00 for it,so I offered him his money back.I got it for 2 hundred.It played great too,and was really fun to play with.Nice action on the cb.I was in the right place at the right time.

That's a nice cue you have there.Bill made some great cues,and I really enjoyed playing with the one that I had.The original shaft was very fat (over 13 mm),but I picked up another matching shaft that was thinner,and it played great.I am sorry that I sold mine.

Bob Thompson hasn't made cues for years, but I got a hold of him to see if he had any leftover, he had a good number still and I bought 4 from him so he gave me a large discount on the order, this one came out at 500 discounted, stag joint, rings, butt and ferrule, I love stag in cues
