I was wondering if anyone could suggest a cuemaker who makes a god knockaround pete. I had posted a thread on this before but I cant find the damn thing. Also I was wondering for those who know, in general, when a cuemaker makes a pete using a regular house cue, do they use the whole thing and just add a joint or do they just use the butt and make a new shaft? Thanks.

Dzuricky makes a nice pete for 240. www.dzcues.com
I have I break with and play a little with now and then. Hits very nicely, great guy to deal with as well.

I have a Scot Sherbine sneaky pete that plays simply awesome. Believe me, they are worth consideration.

The one I have is identical to the one listed for $285 with linen wrap, only minus the linen wrap.

Piglit's idea sounds pretty good. I had a cuemaker match a Dufferin Butt to my 314. total cost was $260 plus another $20 for a Moori. But then I purchased the 314 locally and he charged me top dollar. ($220) Sometimes it doesn't pay to try and patronize the local dealer.
If you really want to hide it match a 314 to one of those Jack Daniel $29.95 butts. And of course sand off the 314. So many people now claim not to like the 314 you might be able to pick one up for $100.
But then why would you want to have a Sneaky Pete? Surely in this day and age you are not going to go around and try to hustle people are you?
It sems that eveytime I play, people comment about my SP. Then I just show them that it is just a Dufferin two piece. Not half as good as their Dale Perry. But what the hell, I don't play all that well anyway. Just average. But then I do play a lot of below average people so it does work for me. LOL.
But in my case it is just my cheap custom cue. I am not really trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.
Besides, the way I look at it, any pro can take a curved house cue and clean my clock and who looks at the cue anyway, it's how a person shoots that tells the story.

Getting Back into pool
I'm looking to start playing pool again after many years and the idea of a Sneaky with a custom shaft sounds like it might be just the ticket for me (never felt real comfotable with linen).Please post more suggestions of cuemakers or manufacturers.I figure I'll either go with a SP or go with a Fury JB with leather wrap.

I second Keith Josey. He makes one hell of a nice cue.

About 10 years ago, I bought three, low end SP's from Muellers (They're cheaper if purchased in threes) and sold two to friends, so mine ended up costing me something like $30 or so. They were great cues for banging around and could be left in a car without too much worry. If you just want the look of a bar cue and the convenience of a 2-piece, Muellers is a good, economical choice.
A few weeks later, Scott Frost either won it from me or bought it for $50 (I forget which). We both made a good deal, imho. A couple of days later, he no longer had it.
For what it's worth,
