"what's this?" i hear you cry.
well i'll tell you...
two things:
now, when i'm not looking, gav does things. sometimes i like it, sometimes i don't (for those who don't know, gav has worked on and off with me for around 15 years). and recently, he has taken to trawling ebay picking up a few selected 'cheap' cues, the chinese mass produced ones which are great value but often fall short on a number of playability issues.
anyway, he's been 'modding' them in his spare time and selling locally. to cut a long story short, these cues have been through what i call in the workshop the 'make sh*t shine' department
the methods we employ there have turned many a 'crap' cue into a real player, feeling and playing like a true quality cue (this also applies to many so-called 'good cues).
so what we have here is a source of very cheap cues that have been made into very good playing cues, at about the same retail price. win win situation.
but that's just the tip of the iceberg. more importantly, he will be making his own cues. strictly limited, one off designs, working under my 'guidance' right here at MW HQ (but no direct involvement).
yes folks, a new source of genuine uk hand made cues will shortly be available along with a limited selection of really good value modded cues. basically a cue for every budget.
this will be done in gav's spare time (he's needed by me of course), but the beauty of this is that he can just crack on and do what ever he wants with all the woods/veneers piled up in my workshop that i am never likely to get round to using.
i'd like to make a very important point here - gav has worked with me for a very long time (deserves a medal in itself), and he truly knows what makes a good, no, great, cue. so rest assured, quality will be equal to, or better than, any of the long established (and new) cue makers.
how will this work?
i'll be adding a section to my website when i get a chance, but for now i will post any available cues right here on this thread.
the first, original, 'G-Cue' will be a little while yet as we are very busy preparing for re-opening the shop, but i will offer some cheap 'modded' cues shortly to keep the budget conscious out there going.
one last thing, G-Cues will not be made to order. they will simply be made however, and with whatever, gav wants to make them. you will be able to customise them once they are posted/published but strictly no pre-orders will be entertained.
we don't need the pressure...
