ebony thunder

(original listing on az with photos)

i bought this cue back in february of this year from a fellow az-er. a friend has a josey and i really liked the way her josey hits so i bought this one. i ended up going to vf in march and got a corey barnhart cue which i love and i haven't touched this cue since. i figured i'd put it up for sale and see if it can find someone who'll appreciate it and give it a good home. it's a good, solid cue which i barely played with since receiving it.

now a few things about the cue that's not listed in that original post...

it's got "ebony thunder" written on it - on the other side of josey' signature. it's why it's been called "ebony thunder" and not because the cue's ebony. i showed the cue to Keith Josey at vf and he mentioned that this isn't his standard sneaky and this was a special order. the fleur de lis at the bottom, the dashed ringwork at the collars, etc. are what makes it different than his standard sneakies. he also mentioned that the inlay patterns have been retired or something so you're not going to see this pattern reproduced.

cue's been refinished (by andy gilbert supposingly), two shafts - 1 around 12mm, 1 around 13mm. i do believe the cue's "heavy" due to the ebony and if i had to guess i'd say it's closer to 20 oz than 19 oz. but it's got a good balance and hits, well, like a Josey.

SOLD PENDING PAYMENT!

first $475 gets it, shipped and insured. (not really making anything on this deal - original $450 plus $25 to cover my shipping, packaging and insuring it.)

The cue is ebony correct? The statement above is kind of confusing... Would the following statement be true? "The writing is why it's been called "ebony thunder", not only because the cue's ebony." I ask because the cue does look ebony in the pics.

oh, yeah. you're correct. my grammar's off in that sentence. the cue is ebony but most cues that are ebony don't have names like "ebony thunder". this one's got that written on it - which is why it's being referred to that way.

so an ebony cue with "ebony thunder" written on it.
 
bump again? no one interested in a good cue by a good cuemaker at a good price?

trades: i like mike stacey, kenny murrell...open to offers of equal value.
 
Jay.....there are still those who haven't figured out yet what totally great playing cues these are!! I just do not get it, since everyone that I have recommended a Josey pete to, and has gotten one, has really been impressed with just how well they do play....especially if you like a stiff, solid playing cue. They get the job done, and very well too, I might add. Fit and finish is just as they are on his higher end cues, and his shaftwood is just amazing!! I might add that Keith does his own finger-spliced full splice blanks, from scratch, and the cues are all done at a natural weight...in other words, no weight bolts. It's really quite difficult not to like these cues once you've played with one.

Best of luck with your sale...someone will get a gem of a playing cue with this one! Plus this one is special, because it is not one of his regular design options...and he doesn't deviate all that often.
