Ludwig Accent CS Custom/Elite
The Ludwig Accent CS Custom/Elite is a 100% birch set readily obtainable in 4 assorted projectile configurations - Power , Fusion , Fusion Plus , and Jazz . Extra, there are 2 versions of the set - the Custom and the Custom Elite .
They are like except that the Custom comes in a preference of 2 satin oil finishes, while the Custom Elite has 5 tipsy show laquered despatch options.
Upright to screw up things a insufficient more there is also an Accent CS 100 set that is at the cheaper end of the Accent CS series and only comes in central wrap finishes. In this rethinking we're only covering the higher Custom and Custom Elite verions.
