it was made for collector. as soon as keith gets back he will finnish mine which is the same cue but all white in mine is ivory as opposed to holly in this cue and there will be silver dots alternating all through the wrap ringwork and 16 dots in each of the 3 shafts joint collars and cap. also mine will have 4 of those black crosses along with 8 ivory scalloped diamond shapes that have ebony inlays in the sleeve to tie the sleeve in with the forearm. these will be the only 2 made. it will look awesome and play better . i'll post pics when i get it.
Have to agree, the unfinished cue also caught my eye.
But all the cues are outstanding examples of custom cues.
Thanks for posting the pictures and will be looking forward to seeing them in person.
keith just called and told me the 3rd cue from the left (big leaf maple cue with turquoise accents and silver dots) just sold earlier today to a forein collector. of course, as usual at the shows, the custom sneakys are going very quickly also. as far as the fancy customs go Keith only makes between 45 to 65 of these a year (only about 1/3 like the last 6 cues on the right side in the first post and the rest less fancy and similar in "fancyness" to the first on the far left). he doesn't make as many cues as some think. Jun, top collector and reseller from japan picked up the custom cue we made for him, the unfinnished ebony/ pink ivory cue (also in first post and of course keith finnished it ) and told keith he "absolutely love it". thanks again for all the inquiries on the cues.
