Coke Bottle Green Ludwig Vistalite

[earteaga]

Chicago Music Exchange is offering a 13/16/22 Ludwig Vistalite kit in an exclusive Coke Bottle Green finish. I think it's a great looking kit. Has Ludwig ever offered this finish before?

Ludwig Vistalite 13/16/22 3pc. Drum Kit Coke Bottle Green

Notorious for their attack as they are for their stunning crystalline looks, Vistalite acrylic drums are a statement both sonically and visually. Vistalite drums are produced to highest construction standards with reinforced seams and crisp bearing edges for optimum shell integrity and tuning...

Gorgeous! But, monopoly pricing!

I think it's new for Ludwig, but other builders have been doing this finish since the acrylic drum revival began in the mid-2000's.

Looks great with that Ludwig hardware though!

 

[K.O.]

Cool looking but it wasn't one of the original 70s colors. Not that that matters but it is a more recent offering.

 

[Steech]

Great looking kit but you can get the same color acrylic in a DW Design kit for less money and better hardware.

I've had a thing for Vista's most of my life. C&C was the first acrylic kit I seen in this finish, I like it! I like this finish more than some of the 50th anniversary offerings.

Yeah, it seemed like every custom builder had this color back in 2005.

It's a "CME Exclusive."
Looks a bit lighter than the 50th Anniversay Green that the factory is offering this year...

I had a snare drum in that color about ten years back.

"Coke Bottle Green"?

I don't ever remember Coke (or Pepsi for that matter) being in green bottles.

7UP and Sprite, yes.



edit -
Ahh, this explains it.
I wasn't around in 1915. (or '57 for that matter.)
The '61 bottle is the only one I remember. (didn't drink coke in '91)

Luddy needs to offer a special edition like this:

Never was into any of the colored Vistalite options but this one looks killer. Always thought C&C had something special with this.

 

[mkelley]

I always thought the "coke bottle" acrylic looked cheap. I had a green vista about 20 years ago and it's such a vibrant color, kinda ruined me only any other color of acrylics.

 

[dale w miller]

I had GMS make this for me in ‘03. It’s my goto kit when playing live, especially when on tour.

 

[TheElectricCompany]

I'm so freaking colorblind. These all look colorless to me, except for the true green Hop posted.

Coke bottle green is definetly my favorite color for an acrylic kit. C&C did a coke bottle green kit with an abalone inlay on it. Beautiful kit:

That’s my favorite acrylic drums color too, followed closely by light blue.

Maybe. Revival Drum Shop in Portland does some unique kits in conjunction w/Ludwig at affordable prices, including for these 'desirable sizes' configuration. I think the price has gone up a bit since last time I looked, but what hasn't in the past 2 years?

It is pretty; I would be scared of the inlays causing cracks in the shells.
