Hey folks. As some of you know, I just got a nice Scruggs cue off of Mr. Donald A. Purdy. So far I've only been sitting around staring at it (so much work to do on my vacation!), but I played with it the night he showed it to me and love the feel.
I generally take really good care of my things and hope to have this cue for a very, very long time.
That idea sparked a little curiosity in me: what's the longest you (or someone you know?) has played with the same cue? If you play, say, 12 hours a week with a cue, and clean it often (with those Q smooth papers or a high-grit sandpaper), how many years til you need to get new shafts? Anyone use the same primary cue for, say, 20 years?
Just wondering...
