Very nice job Zack! Great tribute.
I considered the 1968 Acro I got a few weeks ago a Christmas present, so yes!
I love the sound of a Ludwig Acrolite. My son and I both have one on our kits and plan on keeping them there for a good long while.
Gorgeous!

Here she is! March 27th 1968 date stamp. The shell is in incredible shape with the exception of the small inscription of the owners name and drivers license number. You...
Taking a road trip this morning to look at a 1968 KB Acrolite that looks to be in incredible shape with the exception that the original owner gouged their name into the shell below the bead. If it...

Here are the CAD drawings of the ring. It goes into casting Sunday
Me too, I am texting the jeweler today to see if it has started the process. Will share any pics I get.
Not a problem sir, completely understand. I will post pics of the ring/process as the jeweler sends them.
Those are looking great! Can't wait to see the whole set finished.
So my oldest is in 10th grade, and part of the packet of information sent home this year is class ring catalog. I know my son isn't into the whole "School Pride" thing but I ask if he wants a class...
Those look great Bish! Congrats and the nice find.
