If anyone is interested in seeing a real 1969 Pearl President fiberglass kit - here is my baby. These dark brown fiberglass Presidents were produced from 69-75 it seems.[IMG]http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn87/Osakabop/DSC_0032_edit0.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn87/Osakabop/DSC_0029_edit1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn87/Osakabop/CIMG3268.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn87/Osakabop/eabc0fba.jpg[/IMG]
Nice Osakabop! I have the opportunity to purchase a US market Pearl kit with similar lugs/hardware, but they would be the deluxe 9ply luan shell model, finished in blue sparkle. Any idea when Pearl started using this style lug/hardware and for how long?
