I got this kit at a music shop in WI recently. It's a 70's Ludwig 24/12/13/14/16/18 that somebody was nice enough to spray paint black. They did it inside and out, and also the hoops. Oh, and most of the badges are missing. Awesome. I debated for a while if I should wrap it or veneer it with bubinga. I was leaning towards the veneer, and decided to start by stripping 1 tom and finishing the mahogany shell. It might look good enough to keep that way, but it will at least give me a better idea of what direction to go. I started today, here are some before pictures:

You get the idea, they're spray painted.
