OK Folks, I gave Andy's cues a try, and I just can't get used to the shaft taper. Take a look at this Gilbert I have for sale. I bought the cue from Cue Addicts about 3 weeks ago, so Sean could also be PM'd for comment on this cue. There is still a description on their site. Here is the link. http://www.cueaddicts.com/gilbert3.htm It is the second cue down on the page.
There are a couple of things wrong with the description on their site. In the description, they say that it has 4 veneers (yellow/orange/red/purple) when it actually has 5 (yellow, orange, red maroon, purple). I am adding a closeup of the name and veneers in a separate pic. Their ad also says that it has ivory ferrules, but they are Andy's linen based ferrule material. I know it's a cliche, but the pics don't do the cue justice. It has a nice ebony forearm, and the 5 bloodwood points are awesome. The veneers give the points a fire (almost demonic) look. It's a unique looking cue. I love the cue, but Andy's taper gets too thick a little too quickly for my taste. The joint is ivory, and the hit on the cue is great. Cueaddicts had it listed on their site for $960 which I think is list from Andy. I played with the cue about a week before I figured out that I could not get used to the shaft taper. I have had the cue put up since then.
I'm having other pics taken this week. I'll post them as soon as I can. I'm asking $825.
