I have been playing with these for a while, now I know the "hoopla" about how Gilbert's play....awesome!

I recently put these in Andy's hands, and was shocked the value of these baby's are 7500. for the set. He will NOT do these IVORY TIP pins (Schick tribute) on cues being built, except for his BIG show cues he told me....

Ebony forearms/butts. Tulipwood razor sharp points. 5 flame veneers, 5 flame butterfly veneers. Ivory joints. 16 Ivory inlays on "player". Ivory Hoppe rings. Flame ring work at all locations. Matching joint protectors with flame ring work. Jump-break has a MONSTER 14mm laminated birch shaft. Spreads-em awesome!


I would like to say I'll keep these babys forever...but you never know....:)


Thanks for looking...sorry for the glare in photo's...will take some more soon...

Excellent looking Gilbert would love to add this to my collection. I love the colors of the veneers, and I really like butterfly cues. Thanks for sharing your beauty with us.:thumbup:

Super sharp Gilbert set my friend!!! :)

I haven't been the biggest butterfly fan...but I'm coming around! Thanks to sets like these as well as what BHQ is putting out it's hard not to be a fan! ;)
 
Glad to see somone other than my self breaks and jumps with ivory
Jointed cues thats all I've used for last 8 yrs. jumps and breaks just
As good don't it? To me its a better feel and u feel more may just be me I'm addicted to
Ivory I had a JB that had a full ivory joint,ivory butt sleeve,ivory butt cap, ivory
Points with checked abalone ring work sliver and abalone inlays with brown center
Cut ring tail wrap it was a cue mike gulyassy built for me while I was playin for him I'm
A huge set fan my self and have had a bunch of matching sets I used that JB for 3 yrs
Never hurt the ivory on any I have used and I'm not a league player I'm a pro with a 30mph break so my cues get used 8 hrs a day every day. Great set love
The butter flys and as always love Andy's work I had his biggest cue for a yr its on
Cornerstone cues bills website its now the 2nd fanciest cue he ever built he made one for
ICCS last yr that best it I played with it for a yr while mike was buildin my ivory handled playing cue played great Andy couldn't beleave that a 26 yr old pro pool player had it lol.
Any one looking for a Diveney cue PM me he also does great work or a mike gulyassy cue.

Thanks for the comments guys.

NOW that YOU mention it Seale, I didnt want to brag....but I made 6 balls on the break in a nineball gambling match the other night at Shooters in Olathe. This jump/break is incredible. I stuck the cue ball (which I usually do), made 6 balls, nineball was still on the table, easy three ball out. It was late, beat the guy out of 2 race to 9 sets, he unscrew'd.

I had witnesses too....:) Doug Patrick was one of them....

Thanks guys for the great comments. First Gilbert I have ever owned/played with. Its hit and balance is incredible. Andy's workmanship is second to no one!
 
I don't remember seeing too many matching player and J/B cue sets in the last couple of years and I know I haven't seen any as nice as these two cues. Andy out did himself with this set!

These are just another example of why Andy is has been so successful at cue making. The execution is beautiful.
 
Anyone else have a Gilbert "set" to show off?

Would love to see others...please post pics!

Big or small...:)
