In another thread I just said "never say never"....but on this one I'm saying never. 
Maybe the prong. that's it.

I don't think so....
Come on.. That inlay isn't Gus.. I especially like the ebony insert diamond with the nice round edges..LOL
Verified by Barry?.. I don't think so...
Best,

hmmmmmm Searing?????
I apologize for what I have said in this thread. Apparently the owner of this cue is not telling the truth about who made it. This is not a Gus Szamboti and has never been verified by Barry or even seen by Barry. I'm sorry for the mis-information.

I'm positive it's an Abear cue with a Gus Szamboti forearm. I had an email from one of the previous owners when I was searching for Abear cues, but I deleted the email a little while back. I don't forget cues very often though. You may still be able to get in touch with Steve Hebert. There is also someone on AZ that is good friends with him, but I don't remember his SN. You might put a thread asking for contact info for him. He could verify for sure....
The cue was made with a Gus blank but the inlays, taper and shaft were done by Abear roughly I believe 8+ years ago maybe longer I was the 3rd owner back in 2002. I never got a letter from Abear because he was moving @ the time and I never followed up on it.
@ the Reno open they were trying to sell it for $12,000 and splitting the profit above $3,000 thinking nowone would do there homework on the cue.
The new owner of the cue lives in Reno and I know its for sale again cause he's hurting for money.
Also Aball was just trying to help him sell it and make alittle $$$ on the side only. I wasnt making anything of the deal I already sold it a few months ago. I didnt even know this thread had started till last night when a friend told me my old cue was on here.
Anyways take it for what it worth.
