Now that's a pretty cool kit. I really like the whole feel of it. Nice red. Seriously. Very deep. Love the calf. That's a really neato kit. I would imagine it sounds very sweet. You are blessed.

That was the set on CL in Long Island wasn't it Bill? You stole that set too. $1800 was the selling price if I remember correctly. I was too late to the party because I wouldn't have blinked an eye at that price.

Good score! What would you like to trade me for that set. I have a laundry list of vintage Gretsch goodies to choose from.

Beautiful. You own a sweet piece of Gretsch history. I love the red sparkle!! Reminds me of my first kit, which, unfortunately, was not Gretsch.
