Undervalued Cues

Gilbert, Jensen, McDaniel, Ted Harris, and Gilbert again because I can't think of a fifth off the top of my head and his cues by far are the best cue for the money out there.
 
Add Mike Webb to the list from my point of view. The work he is putting out is a very good deal for the dollars spent.

Eric Crisp, qbilder from easypooltutor.com is another who makes a jam up playing cue for the money.
 
It seems like you get a lot of bang for your buck with Gilberts. All the others don't make too many cues in my price range (excepty Olney) so I can't say much about them.
Hey Ribdoner, did you get your package yet?

Jeff Olney.
Great finish on his cues and nice point work as well.
His waiting list is self explanatory.
 
I'll add in Dzuricky and I think Madison Bob makes a nice cue (even though I've got one for sale it is still a great cue)
 
my 2 cts, 3 of my picks are oldtimers that belong to same draft pick as buskas or Szambotis...or earlier..

Jim Buss, Bert Schrager, Gilbert, Jensen, Horn, Rich (Abe Rich)
(in no particular order)

Jim - Tremendous work enthic and nice guy. great work but his price is still
puzzling reasonable.

Schrager - Hall of Famer, but his cue prices still far far below that of his
contemporaries which are actually Szamboti, Bushka, and Ernie!!
the next couple of years will change that i think.

Gilbert - Great work, Geat prices.

Jensen - oldtimer who cues are puzzling cheap. i had a couple and cant and
never could find any fault with them. Generally my recommendation
to frens looking for a 1st nice custom playing cue.

Verl Horn - Painful experience. bought 5 of his ivory prong cues at 1300us, in
2000... sold them in 2002-2003 for 900-1100... only the ebony
forearm ivory prong made some loose change..
My experience is, stay away from the gold letter Horn in
buttsleeve cues, hits like a bat. they were made wholly by his 2
apprentices 1994-1999. Real Horn-made cues that hit nice are
inscribed on the buttcap, or have absolutely no labels/markings
Many of his Bushka copies with Spain forearms, ended in Japan...
his good works are never recognised...

Rich - Rich Cue Company made some nice cues... old tech but nice
woods IMHO. Abe Rich is, well a legend, but his cues are simple
and not easily found.
