Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Handcrafted in Monroe, North Carolina, this 14 x 6.5-inch Classic Maple Exotic combines a seven-ply cross-laminated maple shell with a Birdseye Maple finish designation and a Bubinga outer ply beneath high-gloss polyurethane. Radio Frequency Shell Technology bonds the shell plies. Ludwig pairs that shell with 2.3 mm triple-flange hoops, tube lugs, a P88 throw-off, and 18-strand Vintage ’63 steel wires. The described result is a maple voice with punch, warmth, snap, and clarity for studio or stage use.
