No, it's a Frankenstein cue, with a mismash of change

No, it's a Frankenstein cue, with a mismash of changes and repairs.

Curious, and I don’t know who made the cue, but at what point does a cue become a frankencue? Does any cue with a replaced buttcap become a frankencue cue, or does it become a frankencue when the buttcap, the weight bolt and the rubber bumper get replaced?

I appreciate the pic. Would you show the pilots and the pin?

Is that a higher end Mizerack cue from the 80’s?

I’m sure we have both seen enough cues to understand subtle differences between a custom cue and a production cue.

Yes, it is a Mizerak Pro SM-7

This is an earlier one with sharp points. Later ones had rounded CNC points.

The pin and pilot are likely nothing like yours. I was merely showing an example of the ring material. I have a variety of others, different brands, import and US, but I don't know if I have pictures showing the grain in the rings so clearly.

I know that I have production cues with a tapered compression fir like you cue, but I haven't found pictures yet. I don't always have detailed pics. I am still in the midst of cataloging what I have.

I couldn't find clear pictures of pin and pilot of that exact cue, this is another one I own, an SM-3

I have two of these cues, but these are not my pictures. Penn Ray is the brand. Import from the 80's. I see similarities.
