So, you said the cue had great construction, and playability, and it at least looks like a sugartree, and you only paid $500 for it, right? WOW, tough customer, lol. The titlist was SWEET, and i think the seller has some cool old school cues sometimes....

Great that you got your money back.
I've had to send Ebay cues back due to quality issues when the seller knew
the issues, but faking a Sugartree sig really takes some balls.
It's hard to give him a negative since he refunded the money.
I guess I rode the wrong horse on this deal...:embarrassed2:
Was anyone able to get a hold of the cuemaker for a definitive answer?
Ummm.....you have this cue in your posetion, yet he is selling another cue right now that looks just like it,.....so FAKE IS JUMPING OUT AT ME...:angry: , Someone should contact Eric so he can let ebay know fake cues with his fordged sig ared being sold on there site........my 2 cents
here is the link to the second cue :..

To add even more fuel on the fire:
He has a second cue which to me looks like an exact duplicate of the 'sugartree' just in maple - with no claims as to the maker.

The same seller had a TS sneaky listed that did not look real to me either.
I think it sold for about $200.00

Seen the same seller on ebay also, buyers beware!
If that cue is cored down the nose, it's probably not ST cue. Eric used to be non-core guy in the beginning.
Also, if you are familiar with his old taper, it helps. It was very short and got fat in a hurry. Many peopel who were used to longer pro taper could not adjust to Eric's old taper ... later on, he changed his shaft taper as well.
G10 - he would use if the nose was very heavy.
Ferrule, he was using primarily LBM and Super Pro tips.

That is not my cue. I have never used canvas phenolic dashes in rings, nor used lacewood in a forearm/butt plain jane. Only a few cues have had g-10 joint pins & this cue is not one of them. This cue is a fraud.
I apologize if I have been out of touch & hard to contact. I'm posting a thread in the main forum to explain.

looks like he modified his description of the cue
sincere or bs???????????
Cue has been proved NOT to be a sugartree cue, and now has no makers mark on it. I believed the cue to be real, so please accept my apologies. I do believe still that the cue is a custom, of high quality, and worth twice my start price in build quality, and playability alone. I think i counted 42 rings, that had to take considerable time, not counting the rest of it. Plus, it does have a sugartree look to it at least.
