bulletComments:
bulletThis is one of the few Piloted Stainless Steel jointed cues that Kenny has made to-date. The cue is very reminiscent of a classic Gus Szamboti cue and has 4 beautiful sets of hand-milled Elephant Ivory dice inlays in the butt sleeve.
bulletIf you look at the picture below detailing the joint end of the shafts on this cue, you will see that Kenny chose not to put heavy brass inserts into the shafts. Instead, he opted for making his own Dymondwood inserts placed into the maple tenon of the shafts. In doing this, Kenny has eliminated any metal to metal contact at the joint, and the joint/shaft combination is substantially lighter which maintains the balance that Kenny was looking for. Also, the Dymondwood is "tough as nails", so there are no worries about stripping the threads on this cue, The only other cue maker that I'm aware of who has used this technique is "Nubs" Wagner who owned and operated Nova cue.
bulletThis one comes with the Delrin Joint Protectors shown in the pictures above.
bulletEach new Kenneth Murrell Custom Cue that is sold by me is guaranteed indefinitely by Kenny, to the ORIGINAL 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).
