My guess is Dean will reward someone with the old school design cue
Bob Owen recently made for Deanoc that had red veneers & ebony points.
If that's the cue, OMG.....worth a whole lot more and what a honey of a cue.
When Dean says worth a whole lot more, he isn't kidding or exaggerating.
It could even be one of the early Schon tribute cues if Dean still had one
that worked its way back to him.
Regardless, I'd invest a grand, or two, on Dean's recommendation. In fact,
I already have done that twice and everything turned out great with both cues.
