I have a 12x8 Gretsch tom that someone (before I owned it) cut the wrap down too far from the bearing edges. The wood shell shows through. I can get aroui nd this by custom fitting some calfhide heads and I may do that.
But, in the meantime I'd like to track down some late 60's Silver Sparkle Gretsch wrap in case I ever want to re-wrap the drum.
The Serial # 117355 inside the drum puts the SSB#1 at Sept-Dec 1969......Pretty close to the first drums of that series.
