I am a 100% Gretsch man, but I do want to have one Ludwig snare in the arsenal.
After thinking supra vs acro, I am inclined to go with acro. I am not really a great drummer and 8 lugs seems easier than 10 to deal with. Plus I don't like that supra pitting.
My preference though is that the acro be in very nice cosmetic condition and from the 60s.
There is a very nice looking 60s one on the 'bay right now that has a BIN of $200 but it's missing the muffler knob as far as I can tell.
The only relevant pic from the seller is below.
Is this an easy part to find and re-attach? If so, how much will that muffler be?
Thanks
