Yes, those are standard maple shafts. Lucasi's always came with good shafts. Often they were nicer than on some more well known customs. You can always get LD's for it if wanted.

Lucasi cue and with three shafts
- Thread starter jviss

Just search "low-deflection shaft". Basically it what's called "shaft end mass". The more mass within the last 5-6" of the shaft is what creates cue-ball deflection. LD shafts use various methods to reduce end mass: hollowed out shaft, light ferrules, smaller diameter, lighter material(cf) etc. https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/squirt/
Thanks for the link. I've started reading it. Hard to wrap one's head around this, at least at first.
To me, the wrap condition is a giveaway of the cue's condition and that wrap looks damn near pristine.
And for me, can't have too many shafts. I have 10+ for my diveney and they all get used. Some times the feel is better with a shaft change.
Not my style, but Agreed. good buy.
Follow-up
Thanks for all of the replies on this, guys.
So, I've had this for almost a month. It's a Uni-Loc Quick-Release joint, as far as I can tell; I'm not an expert, but looking at the Uni-Loc site, I'm pretty sure that's it.
I am also an inexperienced player, so not a good judge of cues, but it has a nice, solid feel, nice hit, for me. There are minor differences among the three shafts, which have identical, beautifully installed, layered leather tips.
I would like to learn more about it, date of manufacture (Sept. '03?), what model or line it is, and so forth. But regardless, it's a handsome cue that works well, so very happy with it.

I just logged in so I could say what I thought about the shafts, you beat me to it, good job.
I do agree, those shafts look very nice. I often see shafts on very expensive cues that are not even in the ballpark of these shafts.
Great job Lucasi, keep up the good work.
standard maple shafts from the same maker can feel a little differant.
It's wood and each shaft blank can have differant density and weight.
