Maybe there is no Holy Grail that almost everyone wants? It's so funny that what one person wishes for is another person's "Meh."
Right. I have no desire for a 57 Fender Precision bass because of the fretboard being too round and because they’re heavy. But I do love the idea of the P bass, so I got a newer one tweaked to my liking and made by someone else. I also can’t stand Les Pauls because they’re so heavy. So while I get mass appeal and appreciate legendary vintage pieces, eh…Maybe there is no Holy Grail that almost everyone wants? It's so funny that what one person wishes for is another person's "Meh."

drummers are less so "prima donna's" maybe, : DI haven't heard anywhere near the specificity with regards to "holy grail drums/cymbals" vs. the universal acknowledgment of such items in the guitar world which drive prices of such items into the stratosphere
Shoot. Mine is Orange Sparkle.60s 5.5x14 Ludwig Jazz Festival in Oyster Black Pearl (the quintessential Ringo snare).
I received an alert for this this morning. Not mine btw.My holy grail snares have always been the SOTA (State of The Art) Percussion segmented shells because they were only in production for several years in the mid 80's. They were only available in Rosewood, African Padauk and Walnut.
Thanks. Yeah, I saw that about a year ago. I contacted the seller of what he actually had on his hands when he first listed it on Reverb. He initially had it listed as a Ludwig snare if I remember correctly. I informed him that I believe it might be a prototype SOTA before they went into full production.I received an alert for this this morning. Not mine btw.

FROM THE VAULT! UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A VERY, VERY RARE SOTA (State Of The Art percussion - Chicago IL) SNARE FROM 1983 OR POSSIBLY EARLIER AS THIS WAS MOST LIKELY A PROTOTYPE. IT IS MADE FROM AFRICAN PADAUK WOOD BLOCKS ASSEMBLED IN A SEGMENTED PATTERN AND PINNED WITH DOWELS AS SEEN IN PIC...reverb.com
