Refinished 60s Gretsch RB kit

How could you not like those? Very close to the later factory walnut finish (I had one).

Thank you everyone! I am very happy with the results on this one. I have a Rogers Londoner in desperate need of a rewrap and now am leaning toward a wood finish of some kind on it as well.

That sounds like a real cool project. I say go for wood finish if the shells allow it.


Thank you!

Randy, they are gorgeous !!!

I REALLY like that you preserved some of the original WMP wrap to do the inlays, as well.

Top Notch re-do with a piece of the original look to boot!!

I am hoping for nice shells when I strip the wrap. We'll see.....

I was very happy to be able to use some of the wrap as well. I have saved the rest for patches or inlays down the road.

The snare was in terrific shape so I do not want to alter it but I am considering stanining some matching maple hoops for it and installing the WMP inlay to tie the snare in with the kit. Haven't decided yet.

I like the snare wood hoop idea a lot. That would look sharp with WMP inlays. Great job on these the finish looks fantastic. I agree with Kevin on the bass inlays. Classy for sure. :)

I think I might just do it. I should have everything I need already. I'll post a few pics when finished. Thanks for all of the encouraging compliments guys! I appreciate it very much.
