What does Merry Widow mean in a cue ?

[straightline]

I see a lot of people saying on here that they want to get a custom cue or buy a cue and they want a Merry Widow, what does that mean. Does it mean plain with no inlay or points just plain or is that a specific model combination .

She offed Pete.

just a theory...lol...

All three of these cues are Merry Widows.

Nice! Is that one in the center from one of John's creations from Coos Cues?

Yes.

I had John make this cue.

It is cocobolo with a sindora burl handle and it is cored with purple heart. He made three shafts for it and an extension.

The top and bottom cues are Jackpots.

The top one is ebony with a camphor burl handle that was cored with purple heart by Larry Vigus.

The bottom one is ebony with a maple handle.
