{"product_id":"12-2800005587647","title":"[SN 1362434] USED LUDWIG \/ NO. 2205 VISTALITE YELLOW 14x5 inches [12]","description":"We've just received a used LUDWIG NO.2205 VISTALITE YELLOW 14x5-inch!\u003cbr\u003e \nIts yellow acrylic shell gives it a striking look. As expected, this is the VISTALITE—a model every drummer dreams of owning.\u003cbr\u003e \nIn recent years, various manufacturers have released models made from acrylic.\u003cbr\u003e \nAcrylic is resistant to weather conditions, and its sound—which emphasizes the midrange—is highly valued for its compatibility with rock music.\u003cbr\u003e \nAmong these acrylic snares, the VISTALITE series is an absolute must-have. And since this one was made in the ’70s, it’s a model that truly helped shape a transitional period in the music scene.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe snare sound produced by the backbeat that underpinned countless classic songs continues to captivate many drummers to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nBased on the serial number, this is a late 1970s model.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe mute is still attached, and the hoops are original.\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile there is some general wear, prices for 1970s Acrolite snares have skyrocketed in recent years, and actual examples are becoming increasingly rare. There is a slight step at the seam—though not quite a chip—due to age-related deterioration. However, this has little effect on tuning and is likely simply a natural variation common in Acrolite snares of this era.\u003cbr\u003e \nOf course, even when used for playing, that classic Acrolite sound is still very much alive.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* This item is not typically sold in-store; it is available exclusively through the Shinsaibashi Store’s website.
