Ludwig Super Classic prior to 1994? Last viewed: 46 minutes ago

Loading...

I have a Ludwig 6 piece Super Classic 4 Ply kit with the long lugs in Blue Shadow finish that I bought while studying music in college. If you look at the kit on page 3 of the 1994 catalog it's the one on the bottom in Ivory Marble finish. Mine came with a piccolo snare also. My question is this: I graduated college in 1992 and bought this kit prior to graduating. From what I can remember I bought it in 1988 or 89. Am I crazy? I cannot find any other images or information about this kit prior to 1994 but I definitely had it much earlier. The kit is in top notch condition and I still play it regularly. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the link to the catalog. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/imag...umsets1_th.jpg

Hi Drumtoad...and Welcome to the forum!

Your kit is also listed in the 1991 catalog, which is the same year that Ludwig introduced the shadow finishes. It's always possible that the kit, and finish, might have been available a bit earlier, but I can't find any evidence of it. I certainly don't see any catalog evidence in 1988 or 89, as you mentioned.

Shadow finishes were available ain the '89 catalog.
