Tim Scruggs ebony titleist conversion

[buzzmc]

This was my player until just recently, and the next month or so will tell if the new Tascarella replaces it or not.

I have been told it's reasonably rare, though I don't really know. I suspect several of you will confirm since I'm throwing it out there.

It's a great playing cue though... Love it.

Interesting to note it has a 3/8" acme threaded pin... No idea what the perceived advantages are of such a pin, but it's different. And I like different

Awesome cue. Ebony Titlist conversions are somewhat rare. One done by TS.........well,
I don't ever recall seeing another one on here before. There might have been one or two,
but I honestly don't remember seeing them.

 

[james chong]

upgrade the joint protector's and keep it right next to your brand new "Killer Tascarella"
positivley keep it.

I had an Acme pin TS

Red Rocket wanted to take me on the road with that goofy pined stick.

Man this thing has the PM's flowing. Seems it's pretty special.

For context I was mostly just sharing, and curious about its rarity.

I subscribe to the saying "never say never" and consider all of the PM's around if you want to sell it please let me know as flattering for the cue.

If you care to make any sort of offer it should probably be in the "way too good to pass up" range. If you're thinking about it and wondering if it's good enough, it's not. I'll flat out just say that I have no intention of letting it go, so if you want it, you need to pry it from me with some ridiculous offer.

Again, never hurts to ask, and I don't mind a bit, just giving the folks that think it might ever go somewhere some context.

I sold one years ago

My batch of 3 were cool.. Sold 2 of them to a retailer. Fair prices. He sold the Ebony Titlist for $2700. I didn't charge that for the two of them. And he sold the Purple heart for $2400. New unhit Ivory Joint Radial pin into wood.
You got one bad puppy there. Never screw JP's into that Cue unless they came with the Cue. Also you need mandrels for a tip repair but the JP's might work. Those threads are easy to make disappear.

Thanks for showing !

Ebony titlists are rare. Tim's cues really play. This cue screams player! I think you might regret seling this as you can not replace it. You can go to the bank the Tascarella will be a great player too. Congratulations!

For the reasons you stated this cue really will never be for sale.

Should some one have enough silly money and want it, I'd part with it for 5k. A ludicrous amount for this stick... But really that's just my 'I don't want sell it" price.

That is a great looking cue, and I bet it hits a ton, as John Wright used to say.

I'm glad you said it takes $5k for the cue, because I was contemplating an offer of $4800 but now I won't need to fret.........

(j/k). :thumbup: :thumbup:

Too bad because i really would have liked to buy this cue.

Thanks for the look at a rare cue from the Scruggs shop.

I have the same pin on a bridged veneer Scruggs myself, it does screw together tight I am guessing yours does as well.

This was my player until just recently, and the next month or so will tell if the new Tascarella replaces it or not.

Yep, this stick screws together very tight, and while I will let people hit with it, I won't let anyone screw it together. Too easy to **** that up.

What's up with the threads on the acme pins?

 

[Tony_in_MD]

They are easy to cross thread. That is what you have to be careful with.

What's up with the threads on the acme pins?

 

[buzzmc]

What's up with the threads on the acme pins?

It's a 3/8-10, but the threads are flat faced. If no one puts up a pic before I get a chance I'll do it later.

Why would you use an acme thread? I don't know -- but this cue screws together tighter that any other I've owned... And I have bad quite a few 3/8-10's.
