I called Ernie yesterday and he said my cue should be ready by the end of "March" and June at the latest... I think he might have meant to say May instead of March haha. I'm happy either way just knowing my cue will be here on or before the time I expected it.
Sorry Bill, The First Ginacue Is Already Taken!
Hi Bill,
This is Will Prout. I purchased the first cue made when Ernie started back. My cue is # 88-00120 . Ernie sent me pictures of him and his wife with the cue when he was finishing the cue, and when they took the cue to Hardtimes/Bellflower where it it was presented to a tournament champion, who happened to be Jay Swanson. He had just beaten Kim Davenport. I also have pictures of Ernie and his wife presenting the cue to Jay, as well as several other photos taken at that time.
The cue has 8 ebony points into a birdseye forearm, and has a fancy buttsleeve. The cue presented to Swanson also has silver plates in the buttsleeve to be used for engraving. Both of my original shafts also have the #88-00120 along with "Ginacue" on them. The pictures show the cue being presented to Swanson along with a leather case (that has the Ginacue logo on the endcap) which I also acquired with the cue several years ago.
The cue was acquired in 1988 by a fellow from Germany named Dieter Kroll, who owned the cue until 2005 when I purchased the cue on Christmas day. Ernie remembers Dieter Kroll also, as he called Ernie several times throughout the years. The cue is in outstanding original condition, as are both shafts and the case. I also have a detailed letter from Dieter Kroll regarding the cue.
I have had the cue on display at the last couple of ICCS shows. You are right, the cue is a GREAT collectible cue, and I am glad I own it. I am currently looking to trade it. For a corvette. Heh, heh, heh.....

Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the note. I am very pleased with the cue. Sorry you did not get it, but I am glad I did! By the way, you have shown us on AZ some absolutely Gorgeous, fancy cues in the past year, so I know you have several you are very pleased with.
Take care,

That cue is sick! Haven't seen that color combo yet. Let us know how it hits bro. Ivory points and blue veneers are a nice change to see from him. I'm currently trying to work something out with him as well and your cue definitely helped in deciding with who to go with. Going to visit him out there if and when I go to school.

Elephant wrap
Martin,
It took me a long time to decide on the wrap, and in the end I took YOUR advice. I waited until the finish was on and could see the different materials, I almost went with a glossy blue reptile but chose a dark gray elephant trunk hide as you suggest. It will be done weds and I'll post some pics...thanks

Will,
Thanks for your kind words...as the brother of an ex-owner of a certain Szam, I know your exposure to the most magnificent cues on the planet is heavy, and to get that compliment from you is flattering.
I posted pics of the completed cue here...:
