Hey AZer's,
Here is a very important cue made by Gus Szamboti for his very good friend Art Harris.
This cue was in the Harris family until his death. Then was given back to Barry Szamboti and sold later.
This is a very unique design. It is an Ebony Box cue, but inlaid with ivory in the windows. The backend is one of a kind. It has Gus' name engraved in an Ivory Window along with Art Harris and his family. Having an Ivory Joint and buttcap and a bushka ring with a leather wrap just top it off. Cue still remains all original with it 13+mm shafts just as Art left it.
This was a very important cue to Gus.
Hope everyone enjoys the pictures.
I'm debating making this cue available.
I will have a private conversation for a serious collector.

Amazing...

What a craftsman, precision inlays, beautiful balance in design, colors, etc.

Just think about the workmanship that went into this cue, precision cut inlay forms the old way and hand fitted.
