Hay Casey

Is this the cue you were waiting for that you asked that all the rings line exactly up everywhere on the cue?

Yes Nick, Never happened. But it is nice. Pics will be coming soon. Casey
 
Apologies for laughing.

Not that it is funny. But that it should happen to a class act like you. Maybe the next one! I know you have been waiting for a long,long time Mr Casey.
Good luck with your quest!
Nick :)

I like it alot

I have an old JF era Southwest and it seems to me that the ebony ones are always the nicest.

I would have never thought white/black/white would have turned out so nice.

I like it alot. It is different. And that isnt easy with a Southwest cue, they all look the same to me.

That would drive me nuts (specifically the joint rings)! Especially since you asked for them to be lined up. I am assuming that request made it to the order sheet.

Though with the SW waiting list and demand on the used market, I suppose that type of attention to detail can go overlooked.

It is still a very sharp looking cue though.

does there look like there could be a "pattern" to the way they aligned the rings? if so the do you think the reason why all the rings weren't lined up the same was by design?? maybe it's one of those things they do the throw off copy cats. if it's not by design then it's poor attention to detail and craftsmanship imo and very disappointing for a cue like this. i would call them and ask, if that hasn't been done yet.

Skins, SW aligns their rings in a specific manner, not all in order. I don't know if they would agree to align all the rings, as their pattern is one way to ID their cues.

What I was talking about was this.
Casey never said that he specifically asked for this cue to be done with all the rings lining up perfectly.
He said he had a order for a SW AND if they ever had one that all the rings lined up the cue would be coming his way. I would think this could easily be two differant sicuations.
This is a cue that was ordered and I can't say if he requested anything special on this particular cue.
I would think the rings not lining up would a unique quality to each cue.
Sweet cue Mr Casey
Nick :)
 
This is a good example that shows typical alignment.....pin # 111 99 (one-of-one-of-one). Above and below the wrap line up, then the rest.

good pics. i seem to remember now noticing that the joint rings were aligned with the cap rings and both wrap rings ( if any ) were aligned in the SW's i've owned but it didn't hit me until your post of this cue.
