Story Part 1/3 - my first custom "PAIR", what do you think ?

!!! STORY PART 1 of 3 !!!

Hey Azer,
it´s a long time ago since i posted some pics of my collection, but i had some personal issues to clean up

Here we go again :grin:

In 2005 i had the pleasure to play with a cue from Mike Gulyassy for the first time.
I already had a Sledgehammer, but never had the chance to play with one of Mike´s Playing cues.
After that first time i decided to order a matching pair from Mike, and i was realy exited as i got it. :thumbup:
I played with the cues for more then 3 years now, but i thought it´s time to retire them and put it in my collection.

I hope you like the design, i still do and Mike does a fantastic job. The wood is awesome,
the inlays perfect and the wrap the best i ever had - a perfectly made stack leather wrap.

The pics are not as perfect as the cues and do them no justice at all, but i hope you can imagine it a little bit.

Like always it would be great to hear your opinions,
Erich

For sure you would have, but i think that´s way out of reach, but who know´s........, and for sure F.O.B. :grin:

It´s nice to hear that Mike was helpful to you, too.
We have done all over a third party here in Austria, so i didn´t got the chance until now to know him personaly.
But i think i will see him at the EXPO this year :thumbup:

I love the inlay work on the cues. Looks very tribal. My cup of tea.

Gorgeous set. Matching Predators too. If you are interested in a matching case, Joe Whitten could do a smooth dark brown and laser cut the tribal inlay on the outside. He did something like that for me and it came out really well. Great set!

Thanks for the compliment, it´s nice to hear that again (Tribal).
Mike does that design in a cue before, and i built that for my wife so she has nearly the same cue like me for three years
But the reason i like that inlay was, it remembered me to a fashion line loge here over in Austria. You know "fishbone" fashion
I saw the design of Mike and the first thing in my mind was "fishbone", don´t ask why - i don´t know it by myself, but i realy liked it

I like cases and collect the a little too, but never had a Whitten, so your idea sounds great :thumbup:
Will talk to him and hopefuly it´s payable
Thanks again for looking, too,
Erich

You have to hold one, because Mike makes realy great cues with an awesome hit, too. :thumbup:
