Just a side note, I was told Gus wouldn't build a cue with mop combined with ivory inlays because he didn't think they went well together. With respect, I actually like the contrast. You sure can't fault Gus for that decision though.:smile:
I think many would shy away from it.
Hard to fault Gus for any design decision really...I mean we're talking Gus.
In this case it makes a very interesting cue. It is definitely bold.
Another could try it and end up with a hodge podge maybe. I think you have to know what you are doing to make it work.
Like some of the real fancy 70's Adam cues...throw in a lot of inlays in a more is better kind of way and you get a whole genre of cues. Yes, they have a lot of inlays, but not synergistic like this.
