7 x 13 Black Brass Shell Drilled 8 Lug

This WorldMax 7x13 black brass shell arrives pre-drilled for eight TU4-150 solid brass tube lugs (3.5"), streamlining your custom build process. The 1.3mm brass construction with black plating captures the warm, complex resonance characteristic of vintage Black Beauty instruments. Rolled flanged bearing edges and pre-installed snare beds provide consistent head seating and wire response, while the internally rolled and welded seam ensures structural integrity. You'll only need to drill mounting holes for strainer, butt plate, and optional vent hole to complete assembly. The wide, shallow snare beds require backlighting on a flat surface to locate accurately.
