Meucci Diamond Ebony

I've talked to more than a few high-end cue makers who dye/stain their ebony cues because there are so many customers who think ebony wood should all be jet black. I never understood that. I think a big part of what makes cues unique is natures imperfections.

Then again, I also don't mind hearing guitar strings squeak. Let's me know a human is actually playing it.

Hello everyone.

I would like to ask for your opinions about this Cue thay I bought from Seybert. It was advertised as Limited Diamond Ebony cues, which made from African Ebony.

So, I got it delivered, and several people I showed it to have criticized it to some degrees

1/ the Wood Grains dont appear to be African Ebony, Jet Black or Deeper Black. This Grains is of lower quality Ebony, Substitutes of Asian Ebony...etc..

2/ there is no number on the Cues, it means this is a regular production run and not limited run. I emailed SeyBert and they confirmed this is Limited Edition. The numbering just doesnt look good on the cue, so they didn't have it on.

3/ a teammate showed his Predator BLAK 4 and it ebony color looked deeper, blacker. He even said that his predator would be more likely to hold value than the Meucci ?

Anyone out there can confirm if African Ebony do look this light ? Thanks

That is a nice cue. I'm sure it plays good. I like the quality of the cues that Meucci is producing now.

Thank you all! So it appears to be just a high end Meucci stick, not Limited stick as I originally thought and or listed by SeyBert

It's a shame those companies toss around terms like 'Limited' and 'Custom' to the crowd who places high value on their meaning in some cases. Guess I can't really blame them. They're selling a product, but it's borderline sketchy at times.
