ridewiththewind said:Why would you do that?!The attraction to this cue is that the handle section is constructed of black phenolic...and it is the only such cue that Mr White has ever constructed, not to mention his personal playing cue. I do not understand why people, who are purchasing collectible cues, no less, want to add or change, that which was never meant to be.
The mind boggles!

This reminds me of something similar happening in the winter of 1996. A friend of mine, who always had to have the best of everything, went to a gun auction and bought a Belgian Browning Auto-5 shotgun that was unfired. It had the trigger still banded. Since they had quit making these a number of years before this was a pretty rare find and he paid 2800.00 for it. At this time you could buy used Belgian Auto-5s for anywhere from 500 to 800.00. We went deer hunting and although he never got a deer he fired the gun a number of times. A few months later we were talking and he said to me "you think I'm crazy for spending that much money on that gun don't you." I told him, "No, but I think you were crazy for firing it." In one shot he turned a rare 2800.00 gun into a common 600.00 gun.
