That is a good price for a nice cue. Cory does not "like" to build the stainless over phenolic, but he builds a great one, when he does. This is the joint I have on my personal Barnhart player, and I love it.
I have had many people contact me abougetting a Barnhart cue...right now, they are extremelu difficult to obtain. Everything that he is building has been pre-sold.
This is an opportunity to pick up a nice playing Barnhart at a good price, with no wait.
Cory's cues are exceptionally popular in the Asian and emerging Chinese market.
