Cue lead times - 4-5 months max - options?

[perpetualboredom]

To save me contacting a lot of people.. does anyone know which makers would be able to produce a custom 1pce cue in 4-5 months max?

[willtyson]

I imagine Andy Travis would be able to :snooker:

[jaffa.johnson]

how are you Mike, is the cue for you?

I presume these guys can

Jason Owen, wright cues, andy travis, mastercraft, matchplay cues, dunns cues,

Not sure about craftmans as their repair guy went off sick leaving them up the swanny, do you have any more info on this Mike?

Why not? He quoted me inside that time frame for a Eureka replica.

really i thought current lead time was 8-9 months. but then its a couple of months since we chatted.

Evidence that it is always best to talk to a cue maker direct. ( Just sayin' )

My quote was literally a few weeks ago, would have went through with it only i snagged an original eureka off the bay, its with Tony now having work done to it, the seller sent it in one of those old metal tubes and it got banged around during the time it was with royal mail, ended up he had to cut the case open to get at the cue which has warped slightly. Hopefully he can work his magic and get it fighting fit again

Your sending it to Tony to fix?

It was sent directly from the seller to Tony, ive had a couple go directly to Tony for a general clean up, first my olde ash, and now the Eureka.

O, ok, I'd heard that his repair skills aren't as good as his making skills, but if he's done your other cues well then there's no problem :snooker:
