It's nice. No squeaks, I was actually looking forward to tearing it apart. I didn't realize how far they can be taken apart. Shipped in three pieces.
The beater looks old, sort of like multiple little cushion things sewn together. It doesn't say ludwig on the beater head rivet, but that's fine.
I love the old school, textured paint on the main body. Chrome is perfect, no pits.
Plays GREAT. Very natural feeling, responds instantly. Bulletproof design too, I can see why they last so long. Someone must have played the HECK Out of this thing. The writing is worn off the pedal, look closely and youll see, on the right side only basically.
Thanks everyone for pointing me towards one. I know this is a WFL, but it was affordable so I jumped on it. $33 shipped.
