Some Pechauer cues are ok looking, but not the ones with tons of MOP and Malachite. This cue looks very intricate. I'm sure the amount of work probably justifies the price, although the value may be a lot lower. Not a big market for high dollar cues from production brands, I bet.
I sincerely wish Pechauer would take their stupid speed joint and toss it in the trash! They should learn from Mezz and have a really tight, compression fit joint to transfer the energy from shaft to butt. If they had such a joint, I might have been interested in one. I quite like the few that have more of an old school design and NO malachite or MOP. MOP should be used EXTREMELY sparingly in cues and only as a part of a greater inlay design. Malachite should not be used for anything, except maybe as a boat anchor.
