I take no pleasure in bringing this up but I feel it neccessary. I see many people praising Lee however my experience with him as been a bit different. I contacted Lee about a cue in febuary of 2011 about making me a custom cue. At that time he had publicly stated he had a 6-8 month turn around time which is one of the things that drew me to him. A few days after contacting him I placed an order and paid a 925 dollar deposit (he requires a 50%) deposit. To make a long story short I still don't have a cue and I can assume at this point I will never see my deposit again. I only spoke with Lee on the phone a few times when I initially put the order in. Below are many of the emails between Lee and I. I left out a few where we decided to upgrade the shaft type, change the wrap type, and cover the 5/16x14 joint with ivory. Lee stated this might push the time frame back a couple months but even after the last modification he was still setting expectations I would have a December 2011 delivery date. I know hes facing health issues now and I don't wish that on anyone. What I am really curious about is who else is left hanging out there?
