I just won this gorgeous Silver Sparkle, 6.5 x 14 Gretsch Snare off of EBay.
It was offered by our member Walkera. Should be here in a few days since it only has to travel down the left coast of Florida from his house to mine. Now with 5 snares I finally have a Gretsch, and I'm interested in hearing the Mahogany.

Gretsch Retro Mahogany snare drum in stunning "Silver Sparkle" features a 8-ply mahogany shell along with a 30-degree edges, die cast hoops, Evans drumheads, traditional throw-off and vintage Gretsch “T-Roof” badge. This baby provides that classic sound and that vintage appearance. Drum is brand new, unplayed. Removed from the box for pictures only.

Scroll down to see drum.
 
Congrats, GD. That looks great and I'm glad to see it matriculating through the DW family. (seems to be happening alot these days). I love the depth, too.
 
what a great snare, congrats! Mahoganey shell with 30* bearing edges, you'll have to let us know how it sounds, should be awsome!
 
Congrats GD, That is indeed a thing of beauty. Post sound bytes if your able............... If not, just send it here and I'll judge for myself. ;-)

Good find.
 
why is the auction through next week?! It's still going?!
 
It was Buy Now, or make an offer. I made an offer that couldn't be refused.
 
Is that the same drum as this one?

$270 (buy it now - with shipping) seems a bit much if it is the same snare. Most places online have it for $200. And yeah, the auction looks like it is still live for another 6 days. Does the seller maybe have multiple quantities?

Looks like a great snare though. Very classy.

Looks like a Phillippine, not African mahogany snare. Catalina series. The sound samples are nice.
 
Yes, it's a great looking and sounding drum. I shipped it today via USPS "Priority" mail. You should see it Saturday.
thanks!!!!!
