Hey dudes,
I just bought a 70 ludwig kit (craigslist) in natural that is really laquer checked and chipped on all the drums. Plus the 13" is kinda beat and the badge is trashed. The drums are a nice amber color and still look pretty freaking cool! My question is ...should I keep them original and live with the "old" look?? or strip them down and have them re-shot and laquered with an amber-ish color to match how they look now...only new and beautiful? I'm leaning towards the refin but I know that refinned guitars are seriously devalued,....also true of vintage drums?? or not? I'm keeping the drums forever so resale is not an issue for me but maybe it would be a serious "vintage drum" NO NO. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks,
DC / Seattle
