WANTED: Ebony 1 Piece Cue

[CeeJay147]

Hi there, my birthday's coming up and i'm fancying getting a new cue. I was just wondering if anyone knows how i can get hold of either an Uncle Thai, O min, or a Unique branded plain ebony one piece cue made to my specs? If so do you think I'd be able to get one for £150 or below? By the way if the custom specs is out of the question my perferred specs would be around 9mm tip, 18-19oz and 57'' length. Thank you

O Min Classic (plain ebony butt) is 800myr ordering direct from them, and you personalise the spec. This works out to approx £163, so slightly over budget. In terms of a cue to your own spec, I think you won't get one for £150. There are other cues available elsewhere if you are prepared to use a different brand, but you have been quite specific in what you want so might struggle.
If you are prepared to go for Mastercue, try greenbaize - http://www.greenbaize.co.uk/
Or Craftsman cues do a "147 cue" which is what you are describing, personalised to your specs for £167. http://www.craftsmancues.com/acatalo...ard_range.html

Yes I was looking at some Mastercraft cues, but was just seeing if I could get my hands on one of the brands I mentioned above for around the same price. I don't mind buying a second hand one if in very good condition though

It just might be a little specific to only look for a certain brand of cue, even second hand, that is from the far east on a forum mainly Uk orientated. I know a lot of far eastern people are members here, but the majority of players who are registered here are Uk based, and use Uk made (or claim to be Uk made) cues such as tw, mw, JP etc. Not many Uk based people would buy a far east made cue (in my opinion) as the shipping cost makes it a lot more expensive. The cues are fine, and very well priced, but add the freight, and you can get a good craftsman cue, so if anything happened to it, they can take it to Leeds instead of sending around the world again.
Just a side note, Tony glover has some peradon cues in his workshop for sale, one of them might be similar to your spec and not too badly priced. He quoted me 180 for a 3/4 cue with 4 secondary splices of thuya burl, which isn't cheap, so a plain ebony wouldn't be as expensive... Try phoning him if you're prepared to try a different brand. (He's away until Friday though)

Hi CeeJay147
I know it is not exact to your spec but may be worth a shot (pardon the pun) for your budget
