I was thinking about this the other day. I own a Predator SE-14 cue. It is made by Longoni but released by Predator? Was the butt designed by Logoni and built by Predator? It isn't clear to me. I see that Predator has teamed up with other cue companies as well (i.e. Mezz).

Unfortunately the best information I can find isn't from the predator website but from billiardswarehouse-

If anyone has some information on these cues I would appreciate it.

You actually answered your own question, predator outsources their limited editions to various makers, Mezz, Pechaur, Longoni, Jacoby etc.
 
I used to own one of those....pretty much the funkiest cue I've ever played with.

Thanks what I was thinking. So in my example my cue really isn't a predator. It is a longoni with a predator shaft. That probably explains why it hits so good :grin:
 
Predator subcontracts cue makers to build limited quantities upwards to 100 cues. Predators supplies their shafts for the cue makers to match up with the butts that they build. Jacoby cues has made 2 limited edition cues for predator. Longoni, Mezz also has built cues for Predator.
 
Jacoby did SE's 12,13,20, and 21 that I know of. I have a friend that owns an SE 20, and while it is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.....I woulda just ordered one from Dave (a non-predator - there is a predator logo inlay in the wrapless handle).

Both of the "Gladius" special edition cues were made by Longoni. After the Gladius models, they did two with Pechauer, then two with Samsara, then two with Jacoby and the two most current models that I am aware of were made by Mezz.
