Classic American Craftsmanship

Classic American Craftsmanship defines the Joss 2604.
This cue combines timeless styling with dependable modern performance.
Stephen Janes builds each cue in Towson, Maryland, and every detail reflects generations of Joss tradition, precision, and pride.
As a result, the Joss 2604 offers players a cue that balances elegant design with the solid hit and consistent performance that Joss players trust.

From the richly figured maple forearm to the pearl-accented butt sleeve, every element works together to create a cue that stands out visually while delivering dependable playability.

Classic American Craftsmanship in Curly Maple

To begin, the Joss 2604 features high-figure curly maple sourced from Canada.
Joss selects this wood for its beauty, strength, and excellent playing characteristics.

Next, a hand-rubbed ebony stain enhances the natural grain and creates remarkable depth throughout the forearm.
As light moves across the surface, the figure appears to shift and come alive.
Consequently, the cue gains warmth, character, and visual movement that immediately captures attention.

Many players know curly maple as fiddleback maple because violin makers have prized it for generations.
Likewise, cue makers value it for its unique appearance and timeless appeal.

Because wood is a natural material, every cue develops its own personality.
Wood is a natural substance, and its grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, no two Joss 2604 cues look exactly alike.

Elegant Design and Classic American Craftsmanship

The butt sleeve continues the cue’s refined appearance with a deep piano-black finish accented by Art Nouveau-inspired pearl detailing.
As a result, the sleeve creates a striking contrast against the stained curly maple forearm.

In addition, the pearl accents add brightness, elegance, and visual depth.
The flowing Art Nouveau influence introduces graceful lines that complement the cue’s traditional styling.
Consequently, the Joss 2604 feels both classic and contemporary.

Traditional Irish Linen for Proven Control

Meanwhile, a traditional white Irish linen wrap with black specks completes the cue.
Joss hand-presses each wrap to provide a smooth finish and comfortable feel.

Players appreciate Irish linen because it offers a secure grip, lasting comfort, and a natural touch.
Furthermore, Irish linen has remained the preferred wrap material for generations of players and cue makers.
Joss has proudly used Irish linen wraps since the company’s earliest days.

Stainless-Steel Joint Performance

In addition, the Joss 2604 features a stainless-steel joint polished to a mirror finish.
Not only does the joint enhance the cue’s appearance, but it also delivers crisp feedback and dependable performance.

Many experienced players prefer stainless-steel joints because they provide a firm hit and consistent response.
Therefore, this traditional design remains a favorite among serious players.

Built for Serious Play

Beyond its beauty, the Joss 2604 is built to perform.
Full-core construction extends from the butt plate to the joint, creating a solid one-piece feel.

Furthermore, this construction helps resist warpage while promoting long-term stability.
Whether you are drawing the cue ball, playing precise position shots, or navigating a difficult runout, the Joss 2604 responds with confidence and consistency.

As a result, players enjoy the dependable hit that has made Joss respected throughout the billiard world.
