Any info on this John Byron?

[Mapleleaf14]

Picked this John Byron putter up for $20.

 

Anyone know anything about these?

 

The face says "2000 MNX - Run 1 - 086 of 100".

 

I'm sure it's worth $20, but I don't know much else about this one. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

 

Also... the yellow sightlne looks like it's not original... does anyone know what the original color was? I'd like to return it to the original color... probably either navy blue like the rest or possibly white?

20$ wow that was a find!

 

I've always admired JB putters, they never seem to generate much interest which I always found a little strange. I remember they used to do some wacky inserts (copper shavings in a clear resin was oe I can remember).

 

Sorry I can't help with your question......

Yes! WOW, what a deal. It is a first run of one of their last "new designs" as a company, the Millenium Next. It was an awesome idea that blended toe and heel of Stainless Steel with a center section of aluminum. It was pinned together and milled as a single piece. I am a big fan of the John Byron stuff and have met the team of John Ortega and Byron Morgan a couple of times. Byron is doing custom stuff now as well as a new run of awesome production putters. Check out www.byronputters.com to see his new stuff. If you want to get a great deal on a handmade, Byron may be your guy, as well. I have one that rivals any putter I have put into play.

If you decide to part with your find, let me know. I have always had an interest in the MNX, but never made the purchase.

Thanks for the great pic,

Thanks for the info!

 

I'll probably keep the putter - I don't usually part with many of my putters. I sort of collect them, not that I have anything rare or really special. I just like putters! If I do decide to get rid of this one, I will let you know though.

 

Any idea of what these sold for new or what it might be worth now?

I found a website - Von's Golf or something like that and it said that original retail on these was $375! Is that possible?!?! Looked like they were selling them for $309.

 

Guess I did get a pretty good deal!

 

BTW - I did get the yellow paint out and there was white underneath that must have been the original paint, and it must have been a better quality paint because it didn't come off like the yellow did when I used Hilti Foam Cleaner ( a construction industry cleaner ).
