Anyone Looking For An Extremely Clean Ludwig Kit?

Loading...

I've got a 70s Ludwig kit in black cortex that I'm considering moving. I'm asking $600 + shipping. Sizes are 12/13/16/22. The interior shells with wooden reinforcement rings are in pristine condition on all of the drums. The wrap is also in excellent condition although the seam on one of the toms probably could use a minor re-glue soon. Serial numbers on the Ludwig B/O badges are extremely close:

1629766 -- 12 Tom;

1629767 -- 13 Tom;

1629769 -- 16 Tom; and

1629771 -- 22 Bass

There are absolutely no extra holes in any of the shells nor any modifications to any of the drums. The kit comes with all of its original hardware (lugs, rims, rods, claws, center tom mount, spur mounts, spurs, FT leg mounts, long legs).

All toms still have their original Ludwig batter side heads mounted on them as well as their original Ludwig tone controls. The original bass drum hoops have their original silver sparkle in-lays although one of them is missing an extremely small portion of the in-lay material. The BD hoops could use a touch-up. I never got around to doing that.

The only "ugly" of the entire kit are the floor tom legs. Two of them show excessive surface rust on their extreme lower portions.

If anyone's seriously interested in this kit please feel free to drop me a PM. Please see pics below. I'd love to avoid listing this one on e-Bay if at all possible.

I'd prefer to sell this kit locally but have no issue with packaging and shipping it if needed.

THANKS in advance for looking!

Here's a pic of the interior shell of the 12" tom.

The shells of all the drums are quite similar.

Wow, that's a sweet kit and a GREAT deal! Just an FYI for anyone out there kicking around the idea of a new Ludwig Legacy kit -which are modeled after these REAL Ludwig drums, here's what you should be prepared to pay:

Ludwig Legacy Classic 4-Piece Lacquer Shell Pack

$3,495.00

MSRP: $6,175.00 Savings: $2680.00(43%)

And black Cortex is a pretty black -like an ebony and it's SUPER wear resistant.

If I had room for it, I'd be on this deal!!

SOLD.

The buyer picked up the kit this morning. He seemed extremely happy with the condition of the kit which made it a "win-win" situation.

Thanks to everybody for their interest and positive comments.

Wow. They should be! I was watching those and came very close to (trying to) buy them. Nice deal.
