if you are looking at this, maybe you have one you'd part with. I'm looking for a purple heart cue with a nicely figured curly or birdseye maple handle area. joint doesn't matter as long as it's not solid s/s as I feel they don't play well. it can't have a uni-lok joint either. the buttcap can be either black or white...I don't care. the cuemaker can be almost anyone as long as it plays great. I'd order this from my cue-maker but don't feel like having him BUILD me another cue and have to wait for it, but if I can't find one, I will have to do so. I'd like to have a basic cue with no frills whatsoever, just NICE woods! if you have one, please post pics AND price here so I can see and make a decision. I'll let ya' know a.s.a.p. thanks,Jeff
