Where to buy Trevor White cues?

[KeithinFrance]

Marco, dude, are you on something?!? I'm just wondering, you understand ...

Btw, you're right, TG's badge is the best, IMO. It gives his cues a really classy look.

hi guys i just got a reply from tony already
but its so expensive!!!

this is the specs i gave him
3/4 ash ebony butt with cocobolo splice 4 flash holly veneers? weight 18 length 57-58 inch
18.3 oz if can if not 18 , 57 oro 58 inch ferrule 9.5

and the cost is 395!!! without postage
hmmmm
if that includes postage then its goood lol...

Don't be too shocked, you are getting something sutom made from a quality cuemaker. Does the 395 include butt/extension?

Also, ask him about if he alters the price on the invoice so you won't have to pay customs/duty tax - or at least a minimal amount.

BTW, what cue are you using now?

[marcoboy102]

nahh.. its just the cue itself
without extensions and without postage...
then if added postage ... i dunno how much that will cost
so i am pretty shocked lol...

[marcoboy102]

for some reasons im not as creative as everyone in here for the decoration of the butt of the cue lol... my plan is just 4 flash cocobolo with holly veneers which is rellly plain compare to everyone haha but i unno.. i dun like it tooo fancy

[marcoboy102]

hey guys... just wondering if im getting the spec above
but with trevor white
do u think i can get it with delivery around 400??

[gettingbetter]

Probably not mate. TBH with you, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone to do that for that price. Maybe you might have to simplify your butt.

Try Robin Cook

but my butt is really simple already compared to heaps of ppl from tsf
just cocobolo 4 flash with holly veneers lol...
not tooo much to i ask for right.... if i had to simplify it
then i might as well get plain ebony butt lol...
and i will look at robins cues thanks rGc

It's the 4 splices that are putting the cost up, that's what he means, especially as it's cocobolo which is expensive. Another idea would be an ebony butt with one cocobolo splice over a holly veneer, or why not a cocobolo butt? Cocobolo is a good, dense, hard wood which makes a good butt, so it's a cheaper way of getting a beautiful cue.

Apart from that, RGC's idea is not a bad one at all, as Robin's a great cuemaker, and his prices are slightly cheaper than Tony's, so I'm sure he'll make you the cue you want with the 4 veneers for about £330, something like that, BUT he's very busy at the mo, and it'll take about 12 weeks to build the cue, NOT including his holidays, which are in July, I believe, so it'll probably take about 16 weeks all in.
