might sound weird at first...

Wow, green...

Wow... I've never seen that green before. I almost bought a warlock bass like that one,
to match a light blue warlock platinum series guitar I had at one time. The bass was
yellow though, and I could just not get used to it, and didn't buy it.

I'll try to post a picture of my Ironbird later. It is the only guitar I have now, so it's *my* axe.

I play with all my Cues, I try and rotate them out every few weeks.

As far as my Bass Guitars, I have some very expensive ones and some very old ones, and I do the same thing with them.

The Cues and the Guitars are meant to be played with.:)

That's the way I feel. I play with all my cues, the only "unused" collectors items that I own are a couple of custom knives, the value of which goes down sharply if they are used. No pun intended.

Nice room. Do the volume knobs on your amps go to 10 or 11.

that seems to be a fine Jackson by me!

I'll try to post a picture of my Ibanez JS1000BP soon.
 
Not a Jackson...

Thanks, but it's not a Jackson... It's a B.C. Rich Ironbird N.J. series. Lots of scratches, missing the tremolo bar, electronics cover on the back, and the neck bridge string lockdown bar, but I still love it.
 
I have a couple of cues I play with at home but will not longer take out of the house... except maybe to another persons home... no bars or ph's . Too valuable to take a chance on.

i have the same, I have alot of miles on a ivory point/ebony South West thats been to a pool room a handful of times, but I have used alot at home, not daily I retired from serious pool but enough that it needs new Morri tips for the 3 rd time and i'm easy on tips, the cue polishes up and looks new-not the shafts obviously, but the butt does. I do take my G.Szam out but it NEVER leaven my sight, EVER. I have 7 shafts for it and the but has a couple dings(I bought it that way), I havent dinged a cue in years-it took me along time to learn how to not do that to cues. Yes the Szam plays better, better than any cue ever, period. and I have played with almost everything. nothing is close.

I know what you mean, I have some Knives like that also. I was a Firearms dealer in the 80's and into the early 90's.

The Volume knobs only go to "10":D

Okay, my main passion is music. I teach guitar for a living and among some of my friends, I know some who bought very expensive guitar (up to 5k) and they don't want to play with it as they keep it as a collector's item in mint condition. Eventhough I can understand the principle of 'collection' but for me a guitar is meant to be played.

About pool cues now, some people take extra care about their cues (which is always a good thing IMO) but my question is this: Do you have or is there a cue that if it would be in your possession, you wouldn't play with it but rather keep it as a collector's item for any reasons?

I only have one cue in my possesion that I will never play with. It's a cue I won here on AZ(in conjunction with matchroom sports) back in 2000. It's from the 2000 Mosconi cup and it's autographed by all 12 players. It has all the signatures on the shaft so any use would ruin the sigs. Other than this cue I'll play with any other cue I have(about a dozen)

The cue I was speaking of...

that even if I was able to raise what I considered enough cash to purchase it, I would most likely
get outbid for it. So, it was nice to think about for a while.

Well, this is the cue I was speaking of. If I owned this, I would not be able to bring myself
to risk damaging it by playing with it. The price has just about doubled overnight. Somewhat
insane, and it looks like there are a few other people that admire this cue as much I do!
