I live outside the States (Dominican Rep.)and started playing almost 2 years ago. In here we don't have a single cue maker and we don't have a store where you can find a good cue. I bought several cues from a friend who bought them in the states (lucasi, predators, McDermotts, etc.).
I'm 6'3 and needed a longer cue, I couldn't find one, so I decided to try a custom. Was saving for that, and the TRENT - MERIDIAN BLADES soap came to scene. I became afraid of sending my hard earned money to a cue maker. But in my necesity of a longer cue I had to take a decision. So I started looking for a cuemaker and decided to give Larry Vigus (63Kcode) a try.
Asked him for an already made cue butt of 31 inches. He offered me a purpleheart merry widow at a very modest price. "Scared" I paypaled him the money and wow, this guy is a EXTREMELY RESPONSIBLE cue maker, everything on time.
About the craftsmanship: ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, perfect balance and a beautifull simple cue.
The purpose of this is to give the guy the credit he deserves. I bet that all of you would post your bad experience with sellers and cue makers, but only a few will post the good ones.
In the end, if you want a great budget cue give Larry a try.
