I keep getting more and more scratches on my break cues finish, it might even be deep enough to be into the wood. I’m thinking it’s my case but I’m not sure. I haven’t dropped it or anything. The weirdest part is the scratches run laterally. I’m just concerned because my new cue will be ebony as well and I don’t want it to happen to a $3500 stick. Anyone know of this problem?
Player: Tascarella (In Progress), Schon

Case: 3x4 JB Rugged
Case.... Had a good friend with similar problem on a higher end cue he showed me scratches and could not figure it out.
I dropped a inexpensive endoscope with light on end down tubes on his custom case and he had exposed staple or tack towards bottom that was the culprit.
The hardships we must endure for the game we love...sigh.
So keep your nose clean keep it on a shoe string
With no opposing no undue disclosing
Nothing stale nothing old or decomposing
Nothing empty nothing bold or over knowing
Nothing more than tasteful reconstruction
Of the plot that edifies all our instructions
It's on the goodness of our dime that you can function

I assume you eliminated the possibility that the back of your cue is occasionally slamming onto the top of the rails on your break follow through?
I’ve had this happen when I put my shafts tip down into the case before I put my butts in. Not sure how they line up in the JB Cases but the edges of the shaft would catch my butt when I put it into the case and scratch it. Granted I’ve only had it scratch the wrap but that may be what’s happening to you.
