McDermott is in my backyard. I just picked a D19 that was pretty used up, I dropped it off by Jayme at McDermott to have it refinished and re-wrapped, it turned out better than expected, it only took 2 weeks. I had a G-core shaft made in case I ever wanted to use the cue for competition, it turns out that the cue hits so dog gone nice it is now my player. I could email some pics if you want to see it. but if you can imagine what it would look like brand new, that is what it looks like. The butt cap was chipped and they were able to clean it up and make it look new. I would have no problem having them refinish any cue for cue.
I picked it up at the Burt Kellerman auction in 2010.
The tips were so old that they shredded when I tried to use a shaper, and I still ran three racks with it.
The cue is in remarkably good condition, but the shafts look well used.
If the butt cap didn't have two small nicks, I would keep it all original.
The butt cap looks aged, it has a vintage look to it.
