SOLD SOLD 2012-07-12 10.53.01.jpg2012-07-12 10.52.16.jpgHi all. In the market for a new cue, so was wondering what my parris classic would be worth. It's quite an old one as i bought it new in late eighties early nineties cant quite remember. Its in good nick for it's age. Any idea's what it should be worth.

Oh it's a 3/4 jointed at 12".

[jrc750]

Ahh too short for me, but you should expect to get around £200 mark easy, if it looks nice, even more

You sure ?? normally Parris cues are jointed at 16"

It was mentioned on a thread not long ago but I can't remember the model name, but the machine spliced cues Parris used to make were split at 12in.

[jonnyhumbucker]

Yeah they do 12" as well. It looks like a 1 piece with shorter ebony splices. If you go on parris cue builder they offer 12" or 16" i think some of there standard cues are also 12".

Yip, that's the one.

Classics are usually split at 16in but going way back, they may well have offered a 12in split as an option, who knows.

What does it say on the badge, Classic or Master?

[jonnyhumbucker]

Deffo classic. i ordered it new with 12" butt as i always liked the look of shorter splices dont like the really long ebony butts like jimmy white style.

[jonnyhumbucker]

It's deffo the hand spliced classic obviously no sd joint as these didnt exist back then i think? was'nt offered as an option anyway at the time.

Parris Classic

it will be at 12 cos Parris made all the cues as a 1p the split them at 12inch my mate got to really old ones and both are cut at 12

If the cue is for sale i would be interested. But some photos would be nice.

I have a JP Special circa 1988-89 and this is jointed at 12" and is around 17oz as well. As far as I know a lot of the early Parris were made this way i.e. one piece then jointed at 12" . Beautiful playing cues as well and yes it is an option on his new website.
