SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!!!:

A VERY nice, original Pete Tascarella Hustler cue from the 80's-early 90's time frame. This is a super cue, and VERY rare, from what I've been told (by those who would know!! :) )

Here are the specs:

58" long
18.1 oz with ORIGINAL Tascarella shaft, which is at 12.5mm with an LBM ferrule
18.6 oz with (believed to be) Adams shaft at 13mm with an LBM ferrule
4 point Rosewood into straight grain maple
Black phenolic joint collars
Piloted 5/16x18 joint pin
Black phenolic buttcap
"Tascarella" located between 2 of the points

Cue is in great original condition. Some minor dings and such on the cue from use over the years...but nothing goes through to the wood, and it's in really fantastic shape, overall. The cue is straight and sound, and a DREAM to shoot with.

This is a great way to get into a VERY collectable and playable cue made by one of the very best in the biz. After speaking with Pete, a new Tascarella shaft could be made for about 150-175 bucks...which is a STEAL!!! You'd be very hard pressed to find another Tasc. SP....and even harder to find one with the signature!

This cue will be shipped in a 2/3 pro-style case...just for the added protection and storage capability.

Cue is listed at $1150 shipped, or best offer. The buyer that comes closest to that will have it shipped via USPS priority mail, insured and tracked. OVERSEAS SHIPPING WILL BE A BIT MORE...BUT I'LL WORK WITH THE BUYER ON THE SHIPPING COSTS!!!!

Hit me up with a PM if interested.

Mike,

I believe, if I heard right, that the 2nd shaft is an Adams shaft. I'm not 100% on that...but I am fairly sure.

Thanks,

Then it should match the butt perfectly!!!!!!!:D
 
Another night-timer bump!! New price listed on the cue....I got ahead of myself on the first go-around!

1350 shipped to your door!
 
Just a Sunday morning bump! I'm a motivated seller, so feel free to make a reasonable offer on the cue, if you're interested!

Thanks,

Rat

Okay.....If you're looking for a Tascarella cue with veneers....expect to pay 2500-2850 for it.

If you're looking to find a cue made by one of the greatest living cuemakers alive today (who no longer is accepting new orders)...who builds cues the way Balabushka did...and you're limited on funds...and you're building a collection...and you want a rare, hard cue to find.....and you're looking to work a deal with a nice guy who's honest and reasonable...then THIS is the cue to go for.

If you believe that this is just a bar cue...............well....maybe Marcus (Fast N' Loose) or Gary (Bushwhacker) can educate you a bit.

Kind regards, sir.

All due respect, Mike...but I sent you the PM when I actually posted the cue up for sale....and I never heard back from you.

You posted the question about who made the 2nd shaft...then I PM'd you to let you know it was up on the blocks...and you never responded.

I took that as a lack of interest in the cue...and I, at the point I told folks I needed to sell it soon, had buyers with offers on the table.

My apologies, sir...but if you still wanted the cue, why didn't you PM me back to seal the deal?

Hrmm,

I didn't message you back when you posted as you posted it for 1350, after my 1300 offer. I figured if you didn't get a 1350 offer that we were on for 1300. It is my fault for not following up surely, but that is why I made the offer prior to your listing with my crazy work hours and the twins.

Sorry it didn't work out as well as it could have for either of us. Maybe next time...

Stay safe out there Mark,

Mike,

I'm sorry it didn't work out as well, sir. We can just chalk it up to a misunderstanding...and I'll take the wrap for dropping the ball on it.

Again, my apologies.

Check your PMs.
