Description: Here for sale a 14x5.5 Super Ace from the late 50s in original 1st generation White Pearl, still in relatively pale condition. Many of these have become severely "butterscotched" over the years. I have had many a Super Ace, they are great snares and a Brit design icon. This one is in good original condition bar heads and wires. It's unusual in that it has a beech shell and rerings, they are usually birch but Premier seems to have produced a run of beech shells during the mid 50s period. I've had quite a few snares like this and a number of toms. The wires were subject to a Richard Newby fix a number of years ago whereby the clam pins were replaced and Puresound 20 strand wires installed. These sound excellent, thoroughly recommended. It's a very comfortable drum to play, has a used Everplay batter head on it and an Aquarian snare side. It has a couple of cracks to the top of the clams due to historical over-tensioning, these haven't moved in the time i've had it. It doesn't need to be wound up that much. Please see the photos and judge condition for yourself. I will ship anywhere in the known world (more or less, not for Russia/Belarus/N Korea/China or any other Nazis I can think of ). Shipping costs will vary by distance. Prospective purchasers please contact me for an accurate quote to your destination. Worldwide shipping costs shown are an estimate only. Only actual shipping costs will be charged. Any questions? Further pictures? Check my head and get in touch ...
