What will a Southwest Cue cost if you order a new one?

It is my understanding that Laurie Franklin will no longer give a "locked-in" price. With the wait now being 8-9 years, she can't predict what the costs of materials, etc will be. You can call 702-870-9615 and ask her.

Your best bet is to find one on the secondary market. Deacon just posted a brand new one on here for sale.

South West cues

I got on the list a few months ago and she said she was not giving any more prices and was thinking about not taking any more orders so they could start to get caught up.

I have a new South West for sale if anyone is interested.

What do you have to pay?

What do you have to pay if you where to cash one to day.

Ask the guy in the link I gave you in my previous post. It's brand new and un-chalked. I presume it's a decent 4 figure amount.

9 year wait is hardly worth the hype (IMO), but if you are in a hurry, maybe you can buy this one

Good luck.

i hear ya, but imagine the feeling of waiting all that time and then finally getting the chance to have the way you want it, especially if you are keeping it. and it doesnt cost anything to get on the list.

Supply versus demand = price and South West cues has quite a business model going for them. With all of the really nice cues on the market and cues I can order in a reasonable length of time I wouldn't consider getting on a list with a 9 year wait, but there must be a lot of people who will do it or there wouldn't be a list that long. My desire to own a nice cue is now not that far into the future, but I think a lot of the people on the list are just on there to re-sell the cues as soon as they get them and not to own them as their playing cues.
 
I know someone who got on the list about 4 years ago for 2 of them. One of them is fairly plain and it was about $1800. The other was a standard looking Southwest with the hi and lo point etc and I think that one was around $3000. I have played a little with a Southwest I liked the way it played but if I wouldn't wait 9 years for it. I think there are many other highend and collectable cuemakers who can get you something equal or better in those terms a lot faster.

On the secondary market I would say $2100-$2500 for a new one depending on rings, veneers, woods, etcetera....
