CUE IS SOLD......... THANKS EVERYONE

Hey AZer's,
Here is your chance to get an incredible Balabushka with a great story, super authentication, the nicest Balabushka leather wrap I've ever seen, and 2 virgin Gus Szamboti shafts that have been hanging in the shop for over 22 years.
That was the quick version..

Here are the details.
I gave a Balabushka with a Burton Spain forearm, an original INSANE Balabushka leather wrap, and 2 original Balabushka shafts to Barry Szamboti to have it refinished for me.
Barry checks out the cue to find out it has an .808 diameter joint which is a bit smaller then a Szamboti joint. He remembers 2 shafts that have been hanging in Gus' shop, and then in Barry's shop that have matching Nickle silver rings and were completed shafts just needing to be sprayed.. He tried them on, and it was like they were made by Gus to fit this cue.. Incredible... Virgin Gus shafts from over 22 years ago...
There are 3 letters written from Barry Szamboti authenticating this cue, which is Very special... I have to thanks Barry for everything he has done.
This cue came out absolutely beautiful.. Barry preserved the original Balabushka leather wrap, which is a rarity to see one this nice.
2- 12.9mm bushka shafts, one has a taper roll.
2- 12.95mm Virgin Gus Szamboti shafts

The letters tell the story better, sorry you have to look sideways...
Best,
Ken Kerner

Wow...
Very Impressive and a great piece of history.
Nothing like a Bushka and a Gus combination.
Price is just so tempting...

Ken. That is a great price on a great cue. This should be a $10K cue all day.

Good luck pal but I guess when Barry has your picture on his wall next to the pool table you don't need luck. Hahaha

Ken

That's just so nice.

I got a crick in my neck reading (trying to) those letters.

Thanks for having it. Thanks for showing it. Thanks for offering it.

Thanks Ken. I believe you make your own luck in life. I could never spend too much time in barry's shop. Lol. But you and I both know it's not that first room that is special. It's what's behind door # 2 then 3 then 4. Lol. That's where the magic happens.

I do think it's funny. Most of us grow up with a picture of michael Jordan on our wall. However, in your case Michael Jordan has your picture on his wall.
