Does it have any identifying marks that indicate it's a Bluegrass?
Which cue is staight? the matching one or the non-matching?
How much roll at the joint? credit card, 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch?
Looks like the cork wrap is separating near the butt. How does the rest of it look?
How long is the butt?
How long are the shafts?
 
Yes it says Bluegrass Cues inside the butt when you pull out the bumper, I don't have a pic but this cue has sold been traded several times on here. Butt is 29 1/2 not counting pin or bumper, shafts are 29". You can see the seem on the wrap, not sure what you mean by "how is the rest of it?" The newer non matching shaft is the straightest, other one plays fine too.Roll is about a credit card,maybe two at the most.
 
This used to be my cue for a while last year. I had Richard refinish it, replace the cork wrap and make a new shaft. The lighter colored brown phenolic is the new shaft. The butt had a small roll to it and Richard said it was only out a few thousandths and would not affect the playability at all. The original shaft has a slight roll to it as well, but again, would not change how it plays at all.

The cue played really well and I loved the cork wrap.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the extra info Kelly, there's nothing wrong with this cue, it plays great. I'm just trying to get some cash together to buy a bigger cue, won't break my heart to keep it, this price is firm on this cue now.

Not for nothin' but I believe Richard, aka...Bluegrass, uses an oddity of a taper that may appear to give the perception of "roll" if the cue is table rolled....I am NOT saying this cue doesn't have some roll in it, but to be sure, I would think the best way to judge it's "straightness" is to put the cue between centers...Hope this helps. FWIW, I have heard very good things about Bluegrass cues.
 
Came to my senses, plays to good to sell this cheap, no longer for sale. Missed out on a good deal here.
