“Which is the perfect snare to be played and gigged.”Jared, in the listing
Set up and ready to play, a classic Vintage Acrolite with the pointed Blue/Olive badge and original parts.
The Acrolite is THE drum for that fatback tone from all your favourite vintage records.
This one was sourced out of Illinois in the US. I picked this one because it's an excellent working condition, but it's not museum perfect. Which is the perfect snare to be played and gigged. This is a legit Vintage Acro snare from the 70's - skip the re-issue and get the real deal.
The Acrolite is a light weight aluminium shell with 8 Lugs.
Internal Muffler is working great.
Original Snare wires in excellent condition
This snare is in solid playing condition. Everything was stripped down for a check over and clean up before re-assembling with new heads. I also included the original head with this one just to have the complete set.
This snare is set-up and ready to go now as is.
