Pretty Wood or More Inlays?

[Fatboy]

depends on who made it, for a Szam with 4 points over $5,000. Richard Black $1500 same for a Ginacue,it depends on the market too some cue makers are hot for a while then cool off, some dont like Szam-because whats left is all there is. I like Tads alot so I might pay a bit more than someone who dosent. It really depends on the seller and buyer.

$2500 is full pop, you know the right people and you can come up with good deals. some where between 1500-2500 is the right number, any more and your upside down on the cue-which in rare instances I'll take a bad deal for my own personal reasons. 2K would be my limit.

That's a great ol' cue Joe...looks to be well-loved, and that has to be the really most important thing, doesn't it? Good on ya. BTW...that wrap gives your cue a character all it's own...it's got personality!

I am more now a simpler cue kinda gal. I really would rather have a great piece of wood, than fancy inlays.

As to joint type...I get what you mean Joe.....my brain is wrapped around a big pin flat faced joint...it just seems to be the best player for me. Anything else, and I just do not feel that I can play as well. It may not necessarily be the case, but it's what I have myself convinced of.....what are ya gonna do?! Lol.

In the spirit of this thread I wanted to share that I ordered a Tascarella about a year ago. Pete and I discussed this and deceided on a plain 4 point cue with no veneers or inlays. The forearm will be a highly figured birdseye, and the points and butt will be a special piece of highly figured amboyna burl he has put aside for me. Can't wait to get it!!!! (probably another 3 years)
