Does anyone know the builder of this cue is?
I was looking to see if anyone might have an idea about this cue? I picked the cue up in a trade but I don't know to much about the company Castle Custom Cues. The only thing I know is that the builder used to build one of a kind custom built cues. This cue is loaded with silver, turquoise and micarta some cues were made with ivory as well. This cue is in almost new condition, not a ding or scratch. The only thing I have been told is that the builder stopped building them about 10 years ago. I also know he is a jewelry maker. If anybody can help me out with who the builder is, I would like to find out how many cues Castle Custom Cues where built.
I have seen Castle one of a kind cues on AAA Billiards in Beverly Hills CA. These cues are not cheap in any means, I have seen prices of $3000 USD and up. I'm not looking to sell the cue at this time. I'm having back surgery on June 10th, I have not been able to shoot pool in over 2 1/2 years, so keep your fingers crossed. If anyone has any info it would mean a lot.

Yes this is a really well built cue. It's a great playing cue feels good in the hands, kinda has a slim butt. The cue has a lot of inlay work, great looking stick, I've seen a few of these custom Castle cues, and they don't come any nicer. I'm so lucky to have been able to pick up on this beauty. Thanks for the comments.
Cheers,
Chrisp.s. More information on Castle Cues here.

What would you take for it? I pay cash [or PayPal].

Jim Sforza has long since left the cue making business (almost 20 years ago), so there aren't any more of these coming into the market.
He was very skilled, but switched to making jewelry (I am guessing that with his skill, it was a far more lucrative business).
They are great cues and fetch a pretty penny when they do come up.
Good luck to you both (of Ziggy ever gets back to you)
