I’m trying to get more opinions on value of this cue. Guffey didn’t make many like this so finding comps has been difficult. The cue is all ebony and the white is all real. Even the checkered small squares around the joints are ivory. The only thing not real is the buttcap. It was replaced a few years ago and it had John Guffey on it in black. Sorry for the pics I can’t get them to scale down.

Beautiful cue! Did John pass away?
Cool looking cue right there.
Jay, I found this in Google Images:

That is a stellar looking cue
Yeah, I thought so Paul. He steered me around Oklahoma City a long time ago. He knew all the little poolrooms around town.
I knew that he had passed, I looked into having him refinish it a while back and found out he wasn’t around anymore. I agree it’s a great looking cue, it hits pretty damn good as well. I have had a hard time finding many others that are on this level that he made.
I'm in Tulsa-
Never met John,
But some of my local friends said He was a good pool player:smile:
He was a pretty good player
i met him through Verl Horn
we visited him and played a few games on his home table
just knocking them around,maybe 2 games of one pocket
he showed me some moves on the table,i bought a few cues
After that day we never met again
Looking back,I have lost quite a few friends i met through pool

He was a pretty good player, grew up watching guys like Norman Hitchcock, Dick Lane, Buddy Hall, Don Owens, and bums like me. John was a low level shortstop that loved to play. He didn't really fuss too much about making a game. He wanted to be on that table hitting balls, not sitting on his ass watching.
He made me a plain Jane cue maybe 30 years ago that I gave away to a buddy a long time ago. I wish I had kept it now. I consider him a good friend from my past.
I'd like to buy that cue if you ever want to sell it. Thanks
The cue is forsale. If you are interested, I can send more pics and cue specs to your email or something.
You know, I'm not so concerned about that here. I just want one of John's cues, and a very nice one to boot. That would make me happy. I know John really liked me as much as I liked him. He was a great kid all those years ago. Better yet, just send me your best price by PM on here and we'll go from there.
