Question about Schon cues...

[RoryHunt]

How far back does a person have to look to get points and inlays on a Schon that are not rounded, but crisp and sharp? I have seen cues people say are from the late 90's that have sharp pointed inlays, but not the points. Just curious.

I believe they changed it around 1990.

This link shows a lot of Schon cues from different eras.

Schon started using pantograph for points and inlays in about 1988, although they still used both techniques for a few years.

Ocassionally you will see an older Schon with sharper points and rounded inlays. This is usually because someone sent the cue back to Schon to have inlays added at a later date.

Also, there are a few cues that Schon made in the last few years that have the sharp points. If you are interested in having one, you might want to call Evan and ask him if he will still make them on order: (414) 383-9661

To get sharp pointed Schons, you would need to find one made when Runde was making them. Anything 1988 or prior should fit the bill.
