Here
is my GHOST pedal (sporting new paint), and it's the classic pre-Ludwig
style GHOST. The footboard now has some raised lines for traction, and
the word GHOST on the surface. The shape of the footboard is a little
more Reubenesque, with a round heel plate. In addition to the holes
in the footboard, the two slight indents on the heel allow a spot for
the base plate to snuggle into when folding. The screw for adjusting
the beater height is a very secure (but tool requiring) hex head type.
Of all the types of GHOSTs out there, this type seems to be the most
common.
Occasionally,
you'll find classic GHOSTS in black. I suspect the very early versions
were black, similar to the Transition GHOSTS. There's also a cool
metallic green paint. My first GHOST sported that cool paint, and
I've yet to find a good match in a can. When I repainted mine, I didn't
paint the toe clamp--I left it the original
green.
