Long lugs (mach) versus short lugs-replacement Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 40 Threads: 11

Hello. I have some Ludwig mapple classic (late 80's/early 90's) toms that I bought that have the short classic lugs...2 holes per lug. I want to change these to the long lug (2 screws). I realize IF 2 of the holes line up I'll have 2 open holes per lug. My question is....do the long lug rods match up with the short lug holes? Has anyone done this and did it effect the quality of the sound? Thanks

I also do not think the holes will line up on this. Seems like i tried it in the past on one.

hi Lenny, are these the lugs you are asking about?

if so, you can see the difference in the two sizes.

Robyn,

Those look like the "big" small lugs. The long lugs (mach) are basically the full length of the shell. Here's an example on my 15" tom. Thanks
