**KQ** Older Kikel Player !!! **KQ**

***Cash sale preferred, but I will consider PARTIAL trades (I WON'T be trading UP, thanks).***


Here's the deal:

Early (20+y/o) Kikel Custom 58" cue 2 shafts

Right at 19.5 oz with either shaft; both shafts are right @ 13mm ->

Straight together and apart (one shaft has a moderately deep scratch in its ferrule not visible in the pictures, but it's there - so, no surprises)

4 points of purpleheart into BEM: ringwork at the joint (5/16-14, piloted phenolic)

The pictures show an "It's George" 1x2 case in similar shape (good used) it can be included at an additional cost (I figure 130.00 + ship/fees is the going rate on one of these).

Here's some pics:

Asking price is 670.00 (j/p set included)+actual shipping and any paypal fees if used - OR BEST OFFER ... So, if you have a partial trade in mind or a slightly different price - PM me

To replace this cue *NEW* from Dave Kikel would be 850.00+ and about 1 year wait.

So, if you've been wanting to try a Kikel from all the glowing reviews, here's a chance to do so with no wait and a lower price.

Just a bump from the back of the active posts.


Entertaining offers of straight cash or even partial trade.







































Thanks for looking. :thumbup:
 
This cue plays super. Great balance and weight. If I wasn't knee deep in cues, I'd buy it as a player.

Doug,

Thank-you for your 2 cents on this cue. This is just an early example of the type of cue that built Dave Kikel's reputation for making a great playing cue.
That fact along with his choice of design, wood and craftsmanship is probably why Kikel was chosen for the 1995 "Hand of the Masters" calendar (which I have lying around here somewhere...) along with only 11 other select few cuemakers.

Neutral Balance

To answer a few questions from PM's:

The cue balances right at 18.5" from the butt cap. Very neutral.

The hit is "medium stiff" and fairly quiet, yet like most of Dave Kikel's cues, it provides nice feedback to the user.

This is a very nice early cue from a master cuemaker. Clearly not a fancy cue, but priced accordingly.


Thanks for looking.
 
Thanks for looking!

All new PM's responded to, thanks.

On a side note, it's listed locally on CL and I may have to issue an award to one person for the most rediculous offer in the history of pool (not an AZ'er afaik)... :eek:
 
If you are looking...

If you're looking for a SOLID playing cue from a master cuemaker on the cheap, don't pass this one up.

PM me if you are interested, let's work something out.

Thanks for looking.
