Thanks for all the information and comments. Still interested if anyone knows of other pro players using an Andy Gilbert cue.
Are Andy Gilbert's Cues Used by Pros?

Andy and Vicki are in dead punch right now with their cuemaking. They are just building some gorgeous cues. Guess that's one reason Andy is about to be honored as ACA Cuemaker of the Year !!!!!!
Here's a brand new one that my buddy Matt just got in. Nice subtle veneers, cocobolo and nicely figured bird's eye maple. :thumbup:

I have Gilbert jump/break and I agree it plays incredibly well, or at least it did before I swapped the tip for a Samsara. With the stock tip it's probably the most versatile cue ever, but my poor jumping skills meant I couldn't jump well with it. Samsara tip fixed that real quick!
Anyway, I was wondering, does he make these simple j/b cues from a full splice blank or does he build a short splice forearm for them himself? The point work is just so clean on them, it's really an impressive cue for the price.

They are his own milled in points. Andy will not sign his name on any cue converted from a blank. Best custom cue value out there, imho.
Scotty Townsend plays with one.
Thanks for that info! That is cool to know, and makes it surprising to me that they are so affordable. The fit and finish is just so good on them.
Saez has been playing with a Lambros for over a year now.
I really like the elephant ear wrap.Here is my set. I love his cues, I have had many over the years. Andy is a great cuemaker and about as good a guy as you could ever ask to know.
Then it is decided: ktownd is a stone cold player
I agree! I am really surprised there are some pretty high level players that use a Gilbert. I am glad and he definitely makes a solid cue from what I hear.
