I thoroughly enjoyed the thread regarding the best cuemaker of all time and his son Barry! In my mind, there is nothing better than a Szamboti.

Please post pictures of your Szamboti cue(s).

That is all.

My Gus is posted in another thread as well but I too would like to see them all together. When I return home next year I will take better pics.

Here is my Gus.

thanks john,

i have many cues that are much more expensive but this is my favorite because of the way i got it ...

i had been in communication with barry for a while ( due to the gus i was in the process of buying ) and one day i was sitting in a bar with some friends and the phone rings and it was barry ...

it was a truly unique conversation and it's end result was this particular cue ...

essentially, this is what he would do if he were making a cue for himself so i guess you guys have the same taste in cues :thumbup:
 
That's great. Good for you buddy and thanks for sharing!!!

Now let's see some more Szamboti cues!!!

John
 
Beautiful photographs! The BEM in those cues glistens like fine Stadivarius violins.....

I "will" have a Szamboti cue (Gus, Barry, or Jimmy) someday!

Please keep them coming.

Eric,

In case you want me to, I can post a few pics for you here just let me know, as always. I also sent you an e-mail the other day...

Steve and Cueaddicts,
Superb pictures, those Barrys are great!

I wish this thread would be like some others with the snowball getting to roll...
 
I have a plain 4 pt gus and ithits fantastic. It gets played with and has the nicks and dings to show it. I break with it sometimes when im too lazy to bust out my break cue. I even sandpaper my shafts on occasion :eek:

I probably should get the award for most abusive gus owner on az.

heres proof not all szambotis get put up in storage:

Those Barry's look familiar on the bottom table pic, :wink: I wonder where they are now? :)

The GSB at the top I played with for about 45 minutes back in 91??? I opened it up from when Barry wrapped it up, I was the first player to ever hit a ball with it, unless Barry tested it. I could have bought it for around $6500. I would have used it as a player cue, But I didn't pull the trigger :( . It has a great home these days.
