bulletCondition:
bulletThis cue was Kenny's Personal Playing cue (until I convinced him to "give it up"). It does have one 1/4" dent (Kenny "swears" HE didn't do it!) in the butt sleeve and if anyone is interested I will attempt to take a detailed picture of it....it's quite hard to see except when the light hits the butt sleeve "just right".
bulletThe shafts and tips on this cue are "like new" and there's no bluing whatsoever on them. They are also free from any dents or dings.
bulletComments:
bulletThis cue has one of the nicest pieces of Brazilian Rosewood that I have seen in quite some time. Matter of fact, the figure is so beautiful, I had to take a second picture of the butt sleeve (see below) to show it off. This cue also has hand-cut Hardwood veneers which you can see close up below along with Kenny's signature. The combination of Curly Maple, Verawood, Purpleheart, and Ebony look great against the Highly Figured Birdseye forearm....and SPEAKING OF BIRDSEYE....check out the handle on this Bad-Boy. The pictures just really doesn't do it justice...you need to see this baby "up close and personal"!
bulletKenny really wanted to minimize the ring work on this cue so that the gorgeous woods would not be overshadowed and I believe that he succeeded.
bulletKenny will send a personalized "letter of authenticity" to the new owner of this cue when it's sold.
bulletThis cue comes with one Brazilian Rosewood Custom Joint Protector made by Kenny shown in the pictures above. Now when I asked him why he only made ONE JP, he just rolled his eyes and said he was just too DAMNED BUSY making cues FOR ME to worry about making shaft protectors for his cue! Oops....I think I struck a nerve :-)
bulletThis cue is signed between the points as shown below....and check out those beautiful Hardwood veneers...that Verawood is pretty cool isn't it!
bulletThis cue is guaranteed indefinitely by Kenny, to the NEW OWNER (non-transferable) against construction defects that are not the result of warpage or abuse. (Please note that this guarantee does not apply to Elephant Ivory Joints and/or Ferrules due to their inherently fragile nature).
