1953 Ludwig Supreme Mahogany Samples

Beautifully refinished WFL Snare …  

Originally a Blue / Silver Duco, this classic snare was carefully stripped and refinished by Ray Ayotte.  3-ply mahogany shell with maple reinforcing rings and a natural maple finish, WFL brass hardware, hoops, and tension lugs, this drum is in excellent condition and sounds amazing.  Very open, sweet vintage tone, only possible from a well aged 3-ply shell with maple re rings.
