Hey folks ,not sure how many will participate but maybe we can start a thread in the gallery showing your Gus and Barry Szamboti's! Past or present
 
My early Barry. It has a very unique identification (never seen another set of intertwined "B" & "S" before) and measures 60" with all three shafts.

Very rare and very nice thank you for sharing ,if they keep coming up posted in the thread like that ,this might be the best thread ever
 
Thanks for the compliments. I bought the cue from the original owner, someone I'd known for more than 15 years. It was made somewhere between 1990 & 1991. I was told that he & Barry had a mutual love of blues music, GI Joe's, and other topics. I like to think that their friendship became symbolized in that logo.

It is the finest cue (both in terms of playability & aesthetics) I've ever held in my hands & I've had the privilege of auditioning some very collectable cues.

This is very close to my Dream hoppe cue from Barry. It was almost a dream come true. Hope you enjoy playing with yours for many years.

All the cues posted here are so beautiful. Hope I can own one in the future.
Thanks for sharing everyone:thumbup:
 
When Barry and I discussed my cue I told him I didn't want it so fancy that I couldn't play with it. I think he nailed it and it hits better than any other cue I've hit so far. It must be the glue he uses LOL

Sorry for posting the same cue that I have posted previously several times. I only have one Szamboti.

The butt and top two shafts were made by Gus. The bottom two shafts were made by Barry. Barry rewrapped the cue. 59.5" / 20.2 oz. I feel fortunate every time I get to play with it.
