100% Original Round Badge era Gretsch drum set
This is an amazing find!
Tension rods, washers, screws, heads and even rubber
feet
Every piece is Factory Gretsch issued from the 1960's
Overall this set is in true "Time Capsule" condition
The set is Glowing
The original factory Applied Blue Glass
Glitter Finish is in Impeccable condition and there
is not 1 single scratch to be found any where on the drums. Quite a
Statement in itself!
The Blue Glass Glitter Finish is
unfaded and due to the sporadic nature of the Glass sparkles
throws of light in a magnificent display! These
rich finishes are much deeper in appearance and
much, much nicer than your everyday Blue Sparkle
made up of Glitter flecks
Another tell tale sign of this miraculous finds ultra clean condition
is the Black lacquer bass drum hoops
which are still ultra glossy! Also if you take a look at the pics you
can see the only wear is a 1" almost invisible mark where the
bass pedal mounted 1 time!
The chrome is also in great shape, Factory die cast hoops, lugs
and mounts all are bright and clean.
Both toms feature dual pad mufflers
Bass drum rail and cymbal L arm are also the original issue factory
items and are also in excellent condition.
Did I say how sharp this set looks! Gushing? Well yes!
This is a beautiful matched set in almost unbelievable condition!
The sizes are 8"x12" 16"x16" and 14"x20"
Again let me re-state the low down
This set is 100% intact the way it left the Gretsch factory
in the 60's
With only light playtime on the heads and I am talking a few hrs tops
this is a real closet classic
Zero fade
This is in out of the closet condition!
Add to its current illustrious condition A light detailing &
you will indeed put these in the Mint condition category
In seeking to fully represent the set I had to search real hard to
find something on the down side or negative about
the set and found only a slight seam discoloration in pic 8 which is
quite minimal and common on this era finishes
That aside this set is gorgeous and will be sure to
please both Sonically and Visually
and will only continue to appreciate in value all
the while providing the
inspiration and pride of ownership associated with
the rich history of the
Great Instruments Produced by Fred Gretsch in the
1960's
