Late 1970s / Early 1980s Ludwig Classic 14x7 Wood Shell Snare Drum White Finish Blue Olive Badge

Vintage Ludwig 14x7 wood shell snare drum from the late 1970s to early 1980s era featuring the blue/olive Ludwig badge, Classic throw-off, and deep shell design.

This is a substantial, heavy Ludwig snare with a really cool road-worn vintage look and tons of character. Based on the construction, hardware, and weight, this appears to be a Ludwig Classic series wood shell drum from the late Blue/Olive badge era.

Features include:

• 14x7 size
• Blue/Olive Ludwig badge
• Ludwig “Classic” throw off
• Internal muffler
• White finish
• Vintage Ludwig hardware
• Deep shell design

The drum is fully functional overall, though it shows heavy cosmetic wear throughout from age, storage, and use.

Condition notes:

• Heavy oxidation, pitting, rust, and corrosion throughout the hoops, lugs, tension rods, and hardware
• Cosmetic discoloration and wear throughout the shell
• Snare wires show age and wear
• Heads are older and heavily played
• General vintage wear throughout

Despite the rough cosmetic condition, the drum has an awesome authentic vintage vibe and would make a fantastic player, restoration project, studio drum, or addition to a Ludwig collection.

These deeper vintage Ludwig wood shell snares are becoming increasingly sought after for their huge tone and versatility.

Please review all photos carefully for exact cosmetic condition.
