SALE PENDING!!!

first of all, I have pics, but am having trouble posting them. If anyone could help me, id email them to you if you could help post them.

Anyway, for sale, an absolute KILLER cue, which ran into some bad luck 3 years ago.

First the description:

Gina cue by Ernie Guitierrez. Fancy birdseye maple forearm, with 8 hi/low snakewood points, hi points with notched ivory diamond inlays and topped with clover leafs with ivory inlays, low points with spear heads and ivory inlay. snakewood ring above wrap with 8 inlaid ivory balls

Ivory joint

one of a kind, custom, GENUINE black alligator wrap. (originally costing $400)

butt sleave with 2 matching snakewood rings like above wrap
4 snakewood rectangles with 4 notched ivory diamond inlays

faux ivory butcap (chipped) see picture

2 original 13mm shafts (straight) with less than 2 hours play, combined
2 custom predator z shafts with matching phenolic ringwork (paid $300 each)
mint condition whitten 1x2 case with gina cue logo.

cue retailed for $3800 + $1000 in extras (shafts and wrap)
will sell for $2400!!!!!
Why, well this cue had an accident. it,s forearm was cracked below the joint, and above the points. when i first spoke to Ernie about the damage, he told me to ship him the cue, but not to get my hopes up. He said he wouldnt repair the cue, "UNLESS I CAN REPAIR IT, DEAD NUTS STRAIGHT, I WILL REFUSE TO DO IT!!" His theory was that his name was still on a cue out there. So, he spliced about 2 inches off the cue, adding on a new piece of closely matched birds eye maple. Now of course, the work is meticulous, its dead straight (according to ernie) but there is a visible seam. It isnt noticieable, unless your looking for it, or know its there. I dont want to mislead anyone, though, it isn't something you have to look hard for, there is a seam, and upon close inspection, you WILL see it. I tried to show it in the picture i took.

Additionally, there is a chip in the butcapp, when the cue hit the metal corner on a table at Amsterdam billiards.

again, first $2400, takes it.

thanks

It took me a good minute to even find it, but I saw it runs right between the clovers.... Ernie did a great job. If I had the spare cash for this, I'd be all over it.

just a thank you for being honest!!! on the cue rep to you with so many dishonest deals happening!
 
Please don't thank me for what should be expecting from ALL of us.

Of course, I guarantee customer satisfaction and believe in full disclosure.

Someone is going to get a great looking cue, that plays as good now as the day it first left ernies shop, at an unbelievable price.

You very rarely see predator shafts made for gina cues with matching rings.
Did Ernie make those?
 
Sheeeit! If it's where I think, he did a BANG UP job!
Other than that nasty bumper chunk, this is a TOP SHELF cue!
And a STEAL at said price!!!!!!

You will NEVER see predator shafts made with a Gina by ernie, according to him. He just won't do it. He didn't do these rings either. A local guy in NY did these if I remember correctly. When I played with this cue I only used the z shafts. Btw, both z shafts have moori mediums on them. One is a little low, the other is perfect.

4 shafts people!!!!!

Each clover has 3 leaves. The seam runs through the center of the bottom leaves. What is paramount is that the cue was spliced "dead nuts straight" (ernies words). The buttcap isn't ivory so for him to replace it shouldn't cost more than $300. If anyone is interested, give ernie a call and ask him. He'll remember this cue, too, for sure!

I agree, it's MORE than a fair price, considering the wrap, the 2 custom shafts AND the whitten case.
