-----------SOLD--------------
Offering a 1967 Keystone Badge 10 Lug Ludwig Supraphonic.
I am throwing this up here and this offering will stand until sold, BUT only if snagged up before the first 'bay bid. Hitting the 'bay later tonight.
This is clearly a players snare, but the good part is that you don't have to stress out about its care - you can gig with this one - and it won't cost you an arm and a leg like most do (no implication there!)
It has pitting throughout, though I have cleaned it up, Bigtime. The best part of the drum is the side that faces the front of the stage (Butt, Baseball Muffler Knob, and Badge), and the worst part is the 'back' of the drum, to the left of the strainer. Despite the cosmetic issues, it is indeed in very fine functional condition, and as far I know, it is all original and complete. The exceptions are the consumables. The strainer handle has lost its chrome, and the butt end has had some flaking. Lugs are pitted more than the shell. The only flaw (damage) is the bottom hoop at the snare slot, which is located in the back with the strainer. Hoops - top is a 9, bottom is a 7 (out of 10)
Top - Coated Emperor
Bottom - Vintage 60s Slingerland snare bottom
Modern aftermarket generic wires in perfect condition
PICS - I am including 2 sets of 5 pics - trying to show the best, and then showing the worst - that it can look, all depending on lighting I suppose.
PP only please.
Exclusively for my forumites, $206 plus shipping. The BIN on the bay will be 240 (or maybe it won't even hit the bay??)
Serial is 520591
The standard classic snare of American classic rock, and for all classic pop for that matter.
More pics can be emailed.
Please help me pay rent.
