[COLOR="DarkRed"]You know...I actually wonder if someone like Matt Bettis could do some light lathing to the top to obscure those scratches; without nullifying the original stamp too much...
....and then lathe a bit more off the bottom to take off some of the weight. I bet it'd be an awesome cymbal if it dropped 400g or so.....
....that guy you bought it from seemed a bit of an oddball...I hope he got the weight wrong, because 2700g for an 18" cymbal is....
wow.....that's a heavy weight for 22" cymbal.....[/COLOR]
