this is an early buss fancy s/p.. the joint has the clear discolored but is not flaking , purple heart. plays great. i can e mail more pictures if ya want.
I just posted some positive comments to a member who was asking about Buss cues. This sneeky pete was my first Jim Buss and I recall it really moved the ball well. Its a small world. Jim built the cue when he was set up on an air force base with little more than a garage and a drill press. The cue clearly had meaning to him when we talked about it at the Hopkins show some years ago. I hope it finds a good home...you'll be hard pressed to find a better hitter for $300 anywhere.
