This cue is no longer available.

I just picked up this old Scruggs...real fancy for an old one. Really nice condition, straight together and apart.

Specs:
-Butt: 15.9oz
-S1: 3.5oz, 12.8mm
-S2: 3.5oz, 12.9mm
-Both ferrules look like Ivory, but I am the worst at IDing it, so let's say it isn't..Moori mediums on both
-3/8x10 wood to wood joint with black phenolic collar
-Maple/black dash rings at A/B/E
-Straight grain maple forearm
-Looks like Goncola Alves..not sure..points almost dead nuts..maybe 1/16" variance
-Four small ivory diamonds above the butt cap
-Black butt cap with the older "TS" logo

LOL, you recken?????????:)

On topic:

If I'm buying 7 to 9 hun, a smidge more if I'm selling.

Appears to be a DYNO cue. The only issue MIGHT be that it doesn't have the signature "hard" hit of a piloted wood to wood jointed TS sneaky.

Really neat cue....extremely solid hit. Typical Scruggs cue.

I would say a fair price would be $850 for this cue at the present market value,i could be wrong although,let the experts chime in,im just guessing from Scruggs i have seen sold.Nice cue and good luck with your sale,this is a rare sneaky. :)

I don't know how else to do this one, and I hate this, but PM me with fair offers, I don't know what to value this one at.

Isn't a 3/8x10 pin kind of strange for an 'old' Scruggs? I'm not being definite about this - just asking.

The joint configuration on the majority of his SP's was 5/16x14 which featured a very unique (as you know;) ) hard, crisp hit. Through the years I've seen several with the FF 3/8x10 joint but I'm clueless what the ratio's are.

Scott,
Not at all. He made them with both joints. I have had several 3/8x10 SPs over the years, and, while like Ribdoner said, they are less prevalent than 5/16x14, they are out there, just like ivory jointed ones are. Apparently, they made 3 cues like this one back in 1988. They sold new for $450 each, at that time.

I would have Timi refinish it and keep it.

It should hit like a pillow but very firm. A full splice nit will go over $1100 for that cue in refinished condition. Seems big money sneakies sell very nice in very fine condition. Buyers that will pay that premium are out there but expect like new stuff.
Refinish it Joe and start at $1100.
Nick :)

Thanks for the info, Nick. You are definitely the Scruggs dude. I forgot to mention that this cue was recently refinished and is in excellent condition, no dings, bruises or scratches.

s/p

hey joe whats up?? i was reading the input on the scruggs and i think that if you can get 1100 for it i would sell. i personally would think 750 ish as is, maybe more on the higher side on the bay. good luck with the sale though. :D

Believe me, if anyone had offered me $1100, it would be gone. I would be very happy with a cash offer at the lower number you mention, but no one has stepped up to the plate with a firm offer, yet. It may very well wind up on the Bay tonight.
