can't really see anything in the pictures, they're kinda small
 
The Schon site doesn't have nearly all the past designs.

I'm a web developer by trade - a couple of years ago I emailed'em to see if I couldn't work a trade, to do up a nice site for'em in exchange for a cue or two. The main reason I'd come up with this scheme was because I had just bought a Schon, but couldn't find it on their site. I proposed a design archive, for situations just like this one. But the fellow said no - he said people rip his designs off enough as it is, why make it easier for'em? :P

Now what you CAN do is take a good photo of it and send it in to'em, and they'll tell you what model number it is, if you're really curious.
 
ok ...nuff jokes:)

This is as big as I got em .....

Thanks for the help guys

It seems to have two identities... maybe it's a spy!

Here for example: http://jjcue.com/schonltd1.htm

It's listed in the Schon image as an LTD, but on J&J's item number it's an SH101

The image I posted earlier was from Billiardwarehouse.com, who also referred to it as an SH101
(see http://billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schon/schon_sh101.htm).

They also refer to the series as a whole as SH Series
(see http://billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schon/schon_sh_series.htm).

Oddly, they don't seem to have LTD series listed... perhaps Schon is doing something funny in their nomenclature?
(No LTDs listed: http://billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schon/schon_pool_cues.htm)

Why'd you post a pic of a LTD series then? :/
 
Thanks for the help....
seems kinda strange....LTD on the stick ...but SH everywhere else?..

this might be my first Schon if things go well...would you all say this is a good repersentation of their product?... what I mean is...is there a big difference in the play of the cues between the series?
 
Playability is consistent across all series. The LTD Series are limited in production, making them more collectable. Their designs and craftsmanship are also more intricate, adding to the value from a collector's perspective.

A lot of Schons have two identities. That's how they get around making 12 of them. Take the LTD 235 for example. It's a LTD, but there's probably 30 sold and you can still get them. It's also known as a SH206 or something like that.

Only certain dealers can sell certain LTD cues. That particular LTD/SH cue is a nice one, but for around $550/$600 you can a 8 point Schon LTD from www.erikleecues.com.
