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?
