Thread Starter | Is this snare a supraphonic? HELP!
Just bough this snare....the guy listed this one as a "60s Ludwig Acrolite" on Craigslist for 100$CAD.... He told me the strainer isnt original and the wires were swapped with newer ones... I dont' know what model it is though it has an olive badge so I guess it's not from the 60s.... And it doesnt appear like an Acrolite but what do I know, I'm 22 LOL.. As you can see, I installed new puresounds and remo heads. I've also cleaned the whole shell with Neverdull. Any expert can tell what this snare is? PS: It has a very good tone.

What a joke. It wasn't an acro, or from the 60's. Imperial lugs and chrome are the givaway. Nice score.thumbsup

i have a 6.5" deep supra and I prefer the diecast rim on top with the stock rim on the bottom. at least compare the two before ditching the diecast alltogether.
