The perfect player. Thanks for sharing Eric.

Take Care

Thx Don 😃

I’ve owned that cue for about 15 years +/-. It’s in super mint condition, it was either used very little or was refinished by Barry. It’s tricky to tell on this cue if it’s a refinish. Most Gus cues that aren’t fancy have been played with a lot.

I’ll post another cue here sooner than later. I’ve been organizing my cues, building a catalog of what I have and values. My health is good, but incase something does happen it would be a good move to at least have them sorted and organized.

I see a lot of cues from all different makers that have dots at the end of the points.
Is this just a design feature or is it used to cover bad points or a combination of both?
Both, especially 40-50 years ago when tools weren’t as precise as they are now. Ernie, Tad, Gus, Stroud and many more all did it. It’s also a nice looking touch.
 
Oh my,
What a great example of a Gus cue ....
Gus' cues always scream EXCELLENCE!!!!
This is one of my favorite Gus’s ever. It’s just fancy enough to be sexy, but not over the top. It’s a nice players cue. Condition is 10/10.

It has 5 Gus shafts all are well used and have been cared for. Not wore down. Who ever owned it used it properly and cared for it. I’m glad it has a delrin butt cap as well.

Thx very much.

Is Kim's old cue in your pics?
 
I haven’t ever taken a pic of it. I will, it’s pretty cool. Has 5 shafts - all well used. I remember the first time I saw it in 85. That cue is part of my “never sell” collection. Lots of cool memories. I’ll get pics before this week is over.
We get a lot of promises for pics, but not many pics. Soon you will be requested to post a deposit until said pics have been posted.

Take a day off and post a lot of pics all at once!
