Custom predator cue with Original 314 shaft

[Edenneil_james]

Hi guys! I found this on a local ad. Poor thing needs saving desperately. This cue has the original 314 shaft with matching ring work on the butt, the butt is made of Brazilian walnut/teak as I was told, it's got mother of pearl or abalone round inlays and ivory butt cap and joint collar. Now the butt cap was shattered coz some dude accidentally kicked it. So the guy I got it from had a great idea of epoxyING the thing. Seems like he mixed up a bunch and poured it on while having a masking tape 2 inches up from the rubber bumper. I bought it, took it home, played 5 racks with it and it plays a lot better than I thought. Matter of fact, it plays fckin fantastic. I wanna get it refinished or restored and wondering how much would that cost me? Would it be worth it? Also wanna know what model this is coz I can't find it in the predator's website. I looked under all tabs of the retired cues, LE, SE, etc. I emailed the guys at predator but u haven't heard from them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don`t think that`s a predator cue.
It`s not in Predators retired cues catalog and Radial pin is not that common in Predator cues.
It looks really beat up. The first thing I would ask is: Is it dead straight?

The butt is not a Predator. There are no characteristics that are similar to any Predator of that era.

Sorry, I forgot to add, I talked to predator and they said it isn't a predator cue. It's a custom cue with a predator shaft that someone had somebody customized it to match the butt. And in that case they cannot work on it.

That weight bolt is aluminum machine screw and it only weighs .3oz.
