Steve...Get in touch with deanoc
Steve,
I've dealt with deanoc quite a bit and he's close pals with Evan Clarke. In fact deanoc has arranged for Evan to produce a special one time limited series of seven cues which will be made in Evan's version of a Balabushka cue. I'm one of the seven buyers of the cue on which orders were taken in advance. However, all of us are getting the cues through deanoc at 25% off Schon's normal prices.
I'm sure deanoc can hook you up with a great Schon at a really good price. He also is close friends with Bob Runde who co-founded Schon in 1981 with Terry Romaine. Bob produces some really incredible cues with sharp points and deanoc has some Runde cues and could also get you a new one too. Runde left Schon in the very early 90's and started making cues under his own name again.
Let him know I said deanoc has been known to pull rabbits from a empty hat.....I am pretty sure he'll come through for you with some great deal.
