A TRUE GRAIL: Here we have an outstanding original preserial “Super Ludwig” or “Super 400″. She sports all original hardware, heads, snare wires, and even the snare cords. She’s got very few minor scuffs and scratches, and 2 small dings, but overall she’s pretty sweet for a 60-year old! She sports her original Ludwig script-style snare wires. We outfitted her with a brand new Ludwig resonant head. We have her original “Ludwig Orchestra Batter” head (the type where Ludwig applied stickers to the blank head), but it had a tear in it which had been repaired.
