This is a very nice Sneaky Pete "Hustler Style" cue ~ highly figured Bacote & BEM cue which I built for my personal playing cue a couple of years ago.
However, it does have thin Water Buffalo joint rings above and below the Micarta 1/2 joint!?
It features a solid Micarta half joint with a 3/8-10 SS BCM machined pin. The Buttcap, joint rings and ferrule (12.8mm ~ Kaumi Blk/M) are Waterbuffalo horn, the Hoppe ring is Micarta as well.
Natural Tung Oil finish. Butt is 29" at 14.8 oz; Shaft is 30" at 3.7 oz; Balances at 19".
It's a sweet and solid player for only $400, includes shipping USPS Priority with Insurance (CONUS), PayPal is fine, pls add 3%
Real sneaky pete...no joint collar, uneven points, short ferrule, screw in bumper. But they play wonderful, and are well below your price cap. Chucks a cool fella too..Love mine, minus the fact I can't really tell the difference between it and a bar stick unless I pick them up. Or look for the clean one
