Most of the time the shaft doesn't match perfectly on any house cue conversion even Scruggs because the butt is just an old house cue cut off and the shaft is a newer hard rock maple shaft fitted in the conversion. Sometimes the maker can find a shaft that goes well with the butt, most of the time it's simply luck or age can darken the shaft to match better. Most of the old valley supremes etc. are darker than the shaft.

Bob,
He is one of the many volunteer moderators here, seems everyone wants a piece of the action... I find it odd that most of the wanna be mods ignore the rules more than the ones getting scolded by the wannabes ...
