Hi All,
I am in a slight quandry. I recently picked up a very nice Sugartree fancy sneaky. The very first night I took it out, I (stupidly) let a friend use it for a few racks. He dogged the 5 in a ring game and slammed the cue down on the bumper. Needless to say, he cracked the buckhorn buttcap in two places, and also cracked the finish.
After I pointed this out to him, he felt absolutely terrible, and has agreed to pay for all repairs. I have sent two e-mails to Eric inquiring about repairing the cue, but have received no response. I am in no way complaining. I know that Eric is extremely busy, and I am sure a repair like this is in no way a priority, which I completely understand. The problem is, I am not sure what else I can do. I can have it fixed locally, but that would mean an ivory buttcap, and then the buckhorn joint sleeve would also have to be replaced with ivory. And Eric's signature is in the buttcap of this cue, of course. So, I am sure you all see my problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you AZers!!!
