Hi guys, wanted to share with you my new score! All the PDFers were giving such good reviews on it and this had to be my next ludwig snare. I'm still got a mind to get a BB and maple snare in the future.
Can you tell me the year it was made in, I can tell is the 1970s. ![]() ![]() ![]()

congrats. looks like a nice one. no idea what year, though, but i'm sure early 70s would be right.
i notice no snares on it. what are you going to put on? those original heads might actually sound pretty decent. i just scored one almost identical to yours on ebay for 125 plus shipping. i am ecstatic with it so far. |

The rounded edge badge was used from 1979.

I got it for 125 with free shipping within US. I expected the snare to be in the earlier 1970s but I've yet to hear the full extent of its sound without the snares. It came with a broken snare wire but everything else was good. The stand was pretty shiny and came in a proper working ludwig case.
I'm thinking of getting snare wires. But do the Puresound Blasters justify the cost? They got about US45 here.

this is a little vague on when the rounded corner badges started:
http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/ludwig_badges.html i have heard many say that acros sound best with basic, cheap 20 strand snare wires like tama i have some 42 strand generics on mine, but im going back to plain 20 strand cheapos |

Yeah get some regular snappy wires. That's what I use on my 1970 Acrolite and it sounds terrific!

Sick snare by the way, I'd love to pick one up. |

I reckon that acrolite is from the 80s. early to mid eighties.
