5'10 G&S Twin Fin, The First G&S Twin Fin Design Considering it's 40 years old, this board is in really good condition. You will never see one of these again so its worth alot and super collectable. The board is about as thick as a longboard, and with that wide square tail, it has an interesting ride. It catches waves easily. Riding it feels kind of like you're noseriding a longboard. Very cruisy... A few years ago, I emailed the G&S office to get some info on this board. Larry Gordon himself wrote back to tell me about it. He said that it was their first twinfin design, shaped in the late 60s and early 1970s. The board has had a few small dings over its lifetime. All dings are repaired and board is ready to surf or be admired on your wall. 9.5 Condition ($1995.00 Free Shipping) 1970 Ludwig Classic Gold Sparkle. "Bonham Set up" Outstanding, near mint condition, no extra holes, problems, or excuses. This is THE ONE - the only thing keeping this set from being exactly like John Bonham's is the fact that it is Gold Sparkle rather than Green Sparkle. Early 70's 3 ply shells with reinforcement rings and granitone interiors, sizes 14x26, 10x14, 16x16, and 16x18, exactly the same makeup as Bonham's kit that was on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While the name "Bonham" seems to get thrown around with every set that has a large bass drum, almost every single "Bonham kit" on the market has one or more problems that just don't cut it - wrong mount, wrong spurs, rewrapped, extra holes, wrong sizes, etc. It is close to impossible to find a set like this, with the correct single rail mount and cymbal L-arm mount, correct 5/16" spurs, etc. This is NOT a restoration, this is the real deal. Original Gold Sparkle wrap is absolutely gorgeous, very glossy with no fade, almost zero use wear. Chrome almost looks new. Edges are original, interiors are immaculate. Original Ludwig logo front head, even the hoop paint is original! Asking price is $9000 or best offer.
