Can someone please recommend a reasonably priced cuemaker for a sneaky conversion with stainless joint?

[TwoRailDave]

Looking for someone that could make something with these specs:

30"
converted from old, thick, straight house cue or bocote/maple full-splice blank
white butt cap
full stainless joint with 5/16x14 pin
black collar with silver ring

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

If your having it made with a steel joint it's not a sneaky, it's a plain jane.

Sneakys are wood on wood trying to look like a house cue.

And yes Cody rocks, would make you a great stick.

I am fully confident the Cody would do a fantastic job, however I suspect that his price would be considerably more than others who could do this simple job. Cody usually does much more fancy/nicer cues and has earned the reputation to charge more.

Incorrect. A Plain Jane is a cue with a solid forearm and butt sleeve without inlays, not a full-spliced cue like a house cue or sneaky pete. Sneaky Pete is a subjective term. People will refer to a cue that looks like a house cue as a “true sneaky” and house cue conversions or full-spliced cues with ring work and or joints as “fancy sneakies.”

There's a guy out of Detroit making really nice cues. He's got a Facebook Page. It's Nick John Cues. I had one of his ole Valley house cue sneaky conversion for a few weeks to shoot with.

There is nothing 'Sneaky" about a joint i can see from across the room.

Thanks. I have a Red Duff from 1998 I’d like converted. I might contact him.

I agree that no one is going to mistake a cue with an obvious joint for a house cue. Nonetheless, it's the umbrella term for cues in this style and has been used as such not only by thousands of posters/listings but also the main manufacturers of our sport. I've seen plenty of debate on this topic before. I agree that it's how the term started out but has now changed and fighting that is like fighting the wind at this point. It's like the English language...things change and older, more "proper" use changes. Like it or not, it's just what it is. Many cues referred to as sneaky petes, perhaps even the majority, do not fit the "true sneaky" classification.
