This is my new player, shoots like a dream. It's a 1/1 Bob Thompson, very low quantity maker that no longer makes cues, but is a master craftsman now making guitars fulltime. Everything white is ivory, and the black is gaboon ebony, one standard maple shaft and one laminated. He considers this one the finest he ever built. Been eyeing it for a long time. I know it's not for everyone, but that's ok, it's just for me
