For me that's easy. I had the same cue made for me by a number of cue makers. Willie Hoppie style four Ebony point butt with veneers, Rambow style butt cap. Once I got away from steel joints like more then 40 years ago I used ivory joints.

Today that would be phenolic. Flat faced joint, first one I played with was a Martin and that was it. Sleeved ferrule, not capped. Tip on shaft end grain.

For the maker, if Scruggs was still alive he would have the job. Today, Barry Szamboti. or Joel Hercek

Dont really have a dream cue. I have all the cue I need.

A nice GC 9 footer, maybe with one of those new projector systems and the room to fit it all in is on my "dream list".
 
I already have it! My Willie Hoppe Titilist conversion cue- why- because my son had it made for me- what more could you ask :)

Joel Hercek…….the absolutely very best living cue maker….IMO.
Then Bob Owen ……yes, Bob is really that good of a cue maker.
 
I have an idea for a snooker-style cue using woods similar to the markings of a pheasant. I had this idea when it occurred to me that the tail is reminiscent of the grain/chevrons on the shaft of an ash cue.

I have a cuemaker in mind for the project, and the cue will be called The Pheasant Plucker. I haven't decided on all the woods to use yet, but the chest will probably be snakewood.

I have mine as well. After owning many others I went with a cue by Dave Kikel. My design, my specifications built by Dave on time, on budget.. With zero drama, cause he is a professional or was, I hear he may have retired...
 
I think I would like to have the fake Balabushka that Tom Cruise used in The Color of Money. That way I can smack him across the head with it. God I hated seeing him twirl that cue around like he was some baton twirling ninja cheerleader.
 
Probably a Mike Wooldridge Black Legend specced for English pool. One–piece, 57", ~17oz and an 8.75mm tip.
 
While SW is my all time favorite I still love my AE and would say it's the one. So already have it.

Probably a Stroud/JW wrapless but there is a distinct possibility my current Iorgov wrapless plays just as good.
 
It was offered to me before it was to the fella who now owns it , it's Frank McGowan's Balabuskha cue that George made for him complete with extra shafts .
To watch Frank play with it was inspiring to say the least .
No I won't go ask the owner if he's willing to sell it if he hasn't sold it already.

My (2) SP8RWs are as close as I have seen to the cue I want to be seen with and playing with. Both elegant and plain at the same time.

Now, if I were have a custom cue made, I would do something with 6 points each point having 6 veneers {Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet} each veneer separated with a thin piece of black paper, Wood-to-wood Uniloc joint, no wrap. Shaft would have a pro taper, an 11.0mm tip with a 0.35" ferule of some white plastic material.
