Thompson custom cue #1- the pre website sale (Updated photo's!)

I represent a small father/son cue building operation out of WV. Their name's are Bob and Larry Thompson. They are producing some of the most unique and original cue configurations I have ever seen. They use only the best materials available when building these one of a kind cues. Every cue is hand-built, one at a time, cutting no corners. The custom line of cues are cored with a resign impregnated laminated maple core, are weight forward balanced and play every bit as good as they look. You only need to hold and hit one, one time and you know you have something very special.

This particular cue is a 24 point masterpiece built with Brazilian Rosewood and Master Grade 5A Hawaiian curly Koa. The spec's are;

Weight-18.8oz
Length- 59"
13" pro taper
13 mm medium Le Pro tip
Joint-Flat faced 3/8x10 set in micarta. The shaft is also fitted with a micarta insert to enhance the pins gripping power. Awesome joint design!

The awesome Koa in the handle area shades from light to dark as the cue is turned. The Koa reflects light like a fine gemstone! The dark Rosewood give outstanding contrast;

The butt cap is Koa with a Rosewood stripe. The collar on the shaft is Rosewood with a Koa stripe;

The ferrule is Rosewood with a Koa accent stripe;

Truly a one of a kind masterpiece! This is one I really wish I could keep in my Thompson collection but if I said that about every cue, we would be living in a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere (but damn, I would look good in the pool hall!) In any event, this cue was built by Larry Thompson. Steal this original piece for an unbelievable price of $700 plus shipping. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or your money back (less shipping)! You have to hit one of these cue's! Confirmed Paypal gladly accepted but add 3% ($21) to cover fee's.

Bama is correct, different operations.

Where are you located Bama? I see your from western MD in your profile. I live in the Baltimore/DC/hell corridor. I have a place out by deep creek and "run away" as much as I can, without the wife trying to kill me...

Cheers!
 
if these are the same guys, i saw some snakewood cues they made. i saw them at a tap event in laurel maryland 2 or 3 weeks ago. they were VERY nice and the price was incredible. $250 i think. lost track of the guy who had them before he left.

That was me! We came in second place in the B bracket at that event.

The Snakewood cue you saw was my personal cue (bottom cue in my avatar). The sneaky pete's I showed you are all sold (two sold at that event). The price on the sneaky pete's are very reasonable. A custom Snakewood cue (like mine) will set up back a bit more...

Hey, believed i sent u a pm
 
I have had a couple folks ask me how the guarantee works. It is very straight forword. When you decide to purchase a Thompson custom cue, I will ship your cue to you and then you have 3 days to try out the cue. If it isn't your cup of tea, send it back (in the same condition as sent out) and the purchase price will be refunded. The most you could be out is shipping charges. We simply refuse to "stick" you with a cue that you are not totally happy with! These cues are backed with a no nonsense 5 year guarantee (less abuse). You will not find a more solid built or backed cue, rest assured.

I own 5 of these Thompson cues and let me tell you.... These cues are great. You won't find a more unique and beautiful cue that plays as well as these do. I've loved all of mine.

Rugerfan is the bees knees to deal with too. You won't find a more honest hombre.

Heading to the SBE!

Looks like me and a couple bud's will be heading up to the SBE on Saturday and I will have this (and other Thompson cues...) in tow. I plan on having a 10 cue case labled with Thompson Custom Cues. If you want a closerer look and/or try one of these awesome cues, just let me know. It will be well worth your time.

Cheers!

I am in Hagerstown. I retired from Walter Reed inside the beltway back in 05, and we settled out this way. I like it..nice and quiet. I like Deep Creek, too..only been there a couple of times, but a really nice area.

My team played a TAP team from Laurel down at Nationals...real nice folks. Found out I knew a couple of them from back when I lived in Laurel in 99-01.

These are some real nice, unique looking cues. I would like to see them when you get to SBE. Look for me around the SBE 14-1 Challenge booth downstairs.

Can you PM me or put up the photos of other available cues?

I have had several requests for more info on the other Thompsons that I have for sale. After the baby is asleep tonight, I will have time to put a small info package together and send it out. I think you will be blown away by what you see! I prefer to send this info out via email and will build a list of interested parties. If you interested in seeing more of these fine cues, just shoot me a email at;

GKLong@comcast.net

I will be taking these cues up to the SBE on Saturday (and display some Thompson's out of my personal collection). This guy is the best kept secret in the custom cue industry. I'm about to change that...

Cheers!

This cue will be heading to Valley Forge tomorrow. I will have a 10x10 case with "Thompson Custom Cues" in tow. Let me know if you want to check out these awesome cues. I have five 1/1 Thompson custom cues available.

Cheers!
 
You got it Gene!

I plan on rolling in around noon or 1PM. I understand that some of the AZ members are having a meet and greet around 2PM? Can someone fill me in where the meeting is? Would be nice to put a face with a name and put a handshake on some AZ members.

Cheers!
