A few more pics of Gus 2000 built by Bob Manzino. Piloted Ivory Joint, Ivory Cameos, Ivory Cap, Silver-Ivory-Bronze Propellers, Perfect Leather Wrap, and "Geyser Sights"





 
WOW NEVER SEEN THIS CUE,BOB DOES AMAZING WORK. PLAY VERY GOOD AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!:thumbup:
 
Love this cue. Thing is....I would have to play with it. I couldn't own such a great cue and leave it in the case. No way...no how. Again, beauty of a hitter. Matt D.
 
I must have missed this the first time, what a nice cue!
Thanks for posting it again.
 
Magnificent cue from one of the few American masters. The artistry and execution including the detail in the propellers makes this a special kind of cue. I'm dumbfounded that many have yet to discover Bob's cue craft and the playability of his cues.

He's a nice guy too! I contacted him about one of his cues that I had gotten. The engraving on the pin didn't look right.
He knew the cue and said it was an early one and that at first he had a local jewelry store engrave the pins.
He then asked if it still had the joint protectors with it. When I told him that it didn't he sent me a set.
And judging by mine, his cues do play great!
 
I’ve always liked this clever spin on the classic. Tim, did you have much input on the design? Great concept.

This is a fabulous cue. Bob's cues are amoug the very top for execution as well as playability. I own several, but have not yet hit with "EDEN". but I had a 3rd shaft built at 30" so that tells you I will.

Congratulations Tim, this one is classic.

Yes Paul. I designed the cue. The thought was what if Gus had been still making cues in 2000? With all the new direction that came starting in the late 80's, maybe he might have evolved some of his looks to something towards this direction. At least that was my thought. :)
 
Sorry, I didn't read carefully I just saw showing the Manzino thinking you meant to put Manzino cues! Awesome cue you have there.

I've loved the Gus 2000 since the first time I saw it. One of my favorite designs indeed and a masterful example of what I try to do in designs I create.

Trav, I also love Mr. Manzino's take on the notched diamond, great cues!
 
I like the Gus a lot also. Yea he puts his personal twist on lots of the details instead of directly copying anything if it's something that has been done. His cues are gems for sure and he is a very, very cool guy to work with. The playability is as good as it gets on his cues! They are absolute players and NOT just for beauty (which they all are beautiful). I love all of mine!
