Ok so first I need to do some explaining and take some of my words back. I have posted several threads involving the IMMINENT arrival or lack thereof reguarding my order with Ludwig. The 3 month wait ballooned to 6 months.Whoever my dealer spoke to said the reason was due to the large sizes and the birdseye finish I ordered. This was ridiculous and unacceptable to me. So I decided to abandon the Ludwig custom dream. Though a part of me felt that I was spiting only myself, I couldn't get by the double than quoted turn around coupled with the lame excuses as to why. My dealer had a Gretsch Brooklyn kit and I took that home. This was 2 weeks ago. Yesterday, the store called me to tell me the drums had come in. He said he was just going to sell them since having a kit of that magnitude in stock is a great thing. I went to the store, looked at them and realized how dumb I had been. The dealer hadn't spoke to anyone at Ludwig or Selmer yet but we deduced that whoever he spoke to 2 weeks ago obviously had no clue. It was then very obvious to me what needed to happen. I went home and brought back the gretsch and came home with Blondie!!! I must say that Ludwig did, in fact, complete their end of the bargain, as quoted. And what a beautiful piece of American craftsmanship it is. My apologies to anyone who has followed my journey of indecisiveness. Also, my apologies to Monroe. You have built a beautiful set of drums. Lastly, and most importantly, I must thank my wife. Cyberworld can ignore me but my wife has to live with me and this craziness!! She has been supportive and understanding all the way through this!!!!!! Now without further interruption............
