Why This Southwest Cue Stands Out
1992 Production Year
Completed in 1992, this cue dates to the early history of Southwest Cues, during the era of founder Jerry Franklin.
For collectors interested in the history of American custom cue making, its documented production year adds meaningful historical appeal.
Authenticity Documentation
The accompanying 2013 Southwest Cues letter, signed by Laurie Franklin, confirms the original construction, materials, and design.
Premium Exotic Woods
The combination of East Indian Macassar ebony and South American Goncalo Alves produces a distinctive appearance with rich grain patterns and warm, contrasting tones.
Traditional Six-Point Construction
Six carefully arranged Goncalo Alves points, accented with red-and-white veneers, showcase the timeless Southwest design aesthetic.
Signature Southwest Ringwork
Natural brown linen phenolic and maple ringwork, featuring the distinctive red 7-3 slot design, completes the cue’s traditional appearance.
Two Included Shafts
Two shafts with different tip diameters offer additional playing options while adding to the completeness of this custom cue offering.
