Slingy Bearing Edge Question: Nashville Era? Last viewed: 3 days ago

Posts: 207 Threads: 104

Even a newbie like me knows most vintage snares have a 30 degree bearing edge -

65 Artist (3ply) - 30

late 70s Hollywood Ace (niles, 3ply) also 30 I believe?

Mid 90s Nashville RK110 - I know they tried to throw-back in design to earlier models but wondered if anyone knew if they were 45 or 30?

thanks

Some info for those interested in Nash versions and their hoops:

Gibson era RK's came in 3 models: Radio King Standard with triple-flanged hoops; Radio King Original with engraved hoops and the Super Radio King with die-cast hoops.
