Thank you! The answer I've been looking for.I placed my order for my new Southwest just a few months ago, after waiting 17 years on list. I used ebony and cocobola woods 3 veneers, joint protectors, etc. It was about as much as you can add without ordering additional shafts. My order was close to $7K. I paid 1/2 of the price to get it started, with the balance due when the cue is complete.
Hope this helps.
