I'm SOLD SOLD my brand new (out of Ernie's shop yesterday), hand signed, unhit, unchalked, unplayed Ginacue made from a Burton Spain spliced forearm. The cue is 58 inches and weighs 19 1/4 ozs with either 13mm shaft. The cue features a short spliced forearm Ernie bought from Burton in 1968, ivory inlays, silver and ebony trim rings, ivory joint, ivory butt cap, inner face elephant ear wrap, ivory ferrules plus ivory and ebony and silver Gina logo cue caps.

This is easily the most complex cue Ernie made from the forearms he purchased from Spain and this is the last of the forearms Ernie had, a true 1 of 1 historically collectible cue which features the combination of the work of two of the most significant cue makers of all time.

The SOLD SOLD includes everything in the photos, cue with 2 shafts, Whitten Gina logo case, dust jacket, and joint protectors. Also included is USPS insured priority mail shipping to domestic locations. PayPal is OK with me with shipping to your PayPal address.

First SOLD SOLD will own this cue.

Please feel free to PM me here or eMail me kvinbrwr@earthlink.net or call me 818 317 0207.

Thanks for looking

Kevin

This is a sweet Gina and I wish I could afford it. It's the first i've seen with Peacock diamonds.

The beautiful cue is a piece of history, but the shop is the stone cold nutts!

You are looking at about a 6th of it, there's like 5 more lathes and CNC to the left, mitre saw to the back, pantograph to the left, Ernie's office to the left, polishers and wheels to the right, a spray booth to the further right, saws and benches behind the camera. Duchess the Rottweiler puppy on the floor. And of course like 5 full race superbikes and equipment. Everything fits just perfect, everything has a specific job, and everything is DEAD NUTS RIGHT ON TO SPECS (well Duchess can get a bit out of kilter).

Kev,

I saw the cue many times during it's construction but missed the finished product, the pictures look great, this is truly a piece of history. With that Spain forearm, it will surely be worth an even bigger fortune one day as a result of it's unique nature from one of the best cuemakers ever.

Thanks for that. I can't believe you are liking my pictures, I'm hating them and think I see plenty of guys doing a better job.

I've had some strong inquiries but really no strong offers on this stick. I'm not one to flog too long on AZ. I figure most of the players for a cue like this at AZ have seen the cue by now and its still available so I'm probably off to eBay like I generally do. Maybe I'll try a raffle first they seem like fun.

Thanks again

Kevin
 
Sweet cue

I have a nice gina & will collect a few more when I see the right one for the right price. I'm curious about in the photo it looks like the butt is slightly warped...it looks like it starts where the wrap meets the points & ring & then out to the joint...the joint has a shadow effect in the photo & looks to be about a 1/4" off the table...is this correct? Or is this just a optical illusion? Thanks

Yes the cue is lifted off the table. If you are seeing a warp in a butt brand new out of Ernie's shop then it is an optical illusion.

Thanks

That is a gorgeous piece of lumber, Kevin. I'm patiently waiting for my call from Ernie. ;)

Did Ernie do the JP's?

Best part about this thread though, is it real nice to hear Ernie got a new pooch!! doggy.gif

G'luck with the sale. Perhaps we can meet when I get up to the shop, hopefully very,very soon.

That call should come soon. Those cues are starting to roll out now.

Ernie did make the JPs. They aren't cheap, but they are way nice.

Duchess is a very sweet Rottie and is well loved. As sweet as she is, I don't think I'd relish being a stranger coming over that fence at night.

Thanks

Kevin

Thanks much. You should start coming back here to AZ and hanging out, stop having a life. AZ is much poorer in your absence.

Thanks
