John Guffey 1994 - Ivory Number Six

I can assure you that I wasn't wondering.
In fact I never gave it a thought.

Beautiful Guffey cue.
Glad it was only lost for a day.
 
nice guffey

I grew up in Oklahoma and worked for V. Horn during College.

I often saw John around OKC and his cues always played very well. they way he put them together and his shaft taper made for a lively hitting cue.

John was a HECK of a player...he taught 9ball clinics and one pocket was his favorite game. he was an APA certified instructor and had a table in the back off his house...great player

congrates - this cue was on his business pamplet in the mid 90's he passed out at tournaments

That makes sense because the original owner loved buying cues that were
featured in magazines, calendars, books, etc.
 
Does anyone know if John still builds cues or has something happened to him?

he retired...realized that assembling cues with prather / horn parts and selling them didnt make very much money...times changed and that practice became much less respected and competition became numerous even around Oklahoma. He still has his day job and his lathe...I friend of mine had him build him a sneaky pete after much begging about 5 years ago...

Thanks for the update on John. The cue building world is getting crowded with so many people trying their hand at building cues. I'm not sure that a new cue maker can start out today and reach the top level of the master cue makers with the long established names.
