From kevins

Very niceLove that green sparkle.Just enough fade to give character, without being "fugly".Cool

Kevin,

long ago,we found a Luddy 18,12,14 in Nickel I recall, that was so faded Green Sparkle,it wasn't funny.............just horrible.........

Sent it someone in Europe for a cheap price ($300-400),and it got routed wrong,and came all the way back here,then on to him.

He ended up getting the shipping for free,so got the kit for very little to his door!

The fade is pretty minimal on this kit. You can see a bit of fade on the snare. It's a few shades lighter. You can also see fading on the front bass drum hoop inlay. Luckily the kit lived in a studio most of it's life.

I'll keep you posted on my progress!
