4 pc Gretsch 3ply kit Late 50's in Gold Sparkle

Posts: 4 Threads: 1

Hi everyone!

Here's a rare opportunity to get a fantastic kit.

It is a reluctant sale, but I'm saving to buy either a Craviotto kit or an Camco bop kit:)

Sizes are 14x22, 9x13, 16x16 and a matching snare 6.5x14.

All 3ply, silver interior, pretags, immaculate condition, except some slight pedal rash/scuffings on batter side bd hoop.

100% Original down to washers and rods!!!! Shiny Gold Sparkle

My location is Norway, but we can meet in NY.

$4000 USD OBO

Other pictures can be emailed, PM me thanks!

Best wishes

CW was known for slapping wraps on those old Gretsch kits. What proof did CW offer to you that convinced you this wrap job was original?

That's a very good point!!

I think the original sparkles coverings used in the 50s and

60s had far less sparkles and you can see very small gaps in between.

Modern wrap is more intense with the sparkle flakes.
