What would you get?

I thought a thread like this would be fun. If you had $2500 to spend on a cue that you had to play with for the rest of your life, what would it be? What kind of design would it be? This is just a fun thread. Personally I would order a cue from James White. The design would be like this, Birdseye Maple forearm with 8 Ebony points (all long) with 4 veneers green, blue, green, and blue, piloted SS joint with ivory stitch rings, black lizard wrap, ebony buttsleeve with an ivory Hoppe ring. Plain but elegant. I have thought about having this cue made for awhile.

oooo I love James White cues, they look so good... well no wonder, he picked the trade from Paul Motty... do you think that $2500 will cover that cue?

I think that I would go with a short spliced Paul Dayton cue with 6 points Amboyna burl (high-low) with 2 veneers spliced into Ebony with lizard wrap and some ivory rings
something a bit like this

Skor, the cue I designed would be a few hundred less than $2500. It is a simple players cue. I dont like cues that are too fancy, just some nice woods that compliment each other.

I would get this cue from McDermott or have a custom cue maker make me one similar, and I would pocket the rest of the money. LOL

I would probably go with something along the lines of a Porper Tuxedo Cue, ebony with ivory points. Something along the lines of Greg's cue but with traditional points rather than floating inlays. As for the cue maker, there are quite a few custom cue makers that make a top notch cue that plays even better than it looks.

John Madden custom with 6 re-cut points up and down, no wrap. Woods TBA.

PFD...what is it, Ink Ebony? Or Gabone ebony? with malachite points veneered with ivory. 6 points, alternating, and reverse points in the butt. Wood to wood joint with silver rings, silver rings at a b c d e.

Think $2500 would cover that?

Oh...I missed that part. I guess I should learn to read good. No, that cue will be closer to double that. For $2500....well, thats a whole nother ball park.
