And off it goes and we wait..... Schon

[Gear101]

So I bought this old cue off of ebay, obviously a Schon. I wrapped it up today and sending it back to them to get refurbished/refinished plus add a black leather wrap. It came with two nice shafts, but they also could use some time at the shop, badly in need of polishing.

Yes, it does look like it needs a refinish.

Here's the story that goes with the cue.

 

[Gear101]

2 months and I should get it back.

Should be interesting to see finish product.

They just send my two pictures, it nicer than I thought it would be.

A lot of black. Do you know what model it is?

No, I'm hoping they send the model with the invoice. Only thing I know about it has been posted here. Early 80s cue is only a guess.

 

[Dognit]

Late 80s-Early 90s is a better guess.

So the cue made it back, texted me all the way through the restore. Sent me pictures of the cue after some of the work was done. Cue came back PREFECT, looks like a brand new cue. Cannot tell you how happy I'm to add other Schon like this to my collection. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I saw that cue on EBay. Looked like it had been in a fire. I talked to the guy about it. I thought about it and as bad as everything looked, no way I was gonna pay the price it sold for. I am very happy that it worked out for you. Congrats.

So I paid 300 for the cue and 200 to get it refinished... 500 for a Schon made of Colobolo. Not a great deal, just really like the cue.

Looks like Ebony in the picture.

 

[Gear101]

Butt is Ebony points you can see the Colobolo. When I get home I'll see if I can get a picture of the two different woods.
