Gretsch shells were a combination of maple and gumwood. Ludwig 6ply shells were maple and poplar I believe.

Actually Ludwig 6-ply shells are all maple. The Rocker shells were maple/poplar.

The ludwig shell guide posted by patrick, directly from the ludwig site, says 6ply maple/poplar??? A few other sources I've found say the same.
