I bought these Sept 09 locally on Craigslist and finished the restore Just before Christmas.
1958 Gretsch 3ply (floor is 6ply).....Gold Sparkle
DRUM SIZES:
1420bd, 5.514 snare, 812 rack & 1414 floor.
Tucked my own calf hide onto wood flesh-hoops of both heads on the toms (batter only snare). BD has Evans EMAD batter & Gretsch 10 O'Clock Ebony logo reso.
First two photos show generally the neglect I found them in....it was much worse in real life - lots or rust, damaged & missing parts and a whole lota dirt-n-grime.
I'm very happy with the outcome of my first "kit" restore.
