Gretsch 3pc 12/16/20 for trade! what do u got?

Posts: 1075 Threads: 475

hi everyone

looking to trade my 3 pc gretsch 12/16/20 in gold satin for another kit.

it is complete, not missing anything, original wrap, rail consolette, etc.

it is in pristine condition. there is a diamond shape gretsch l arm mount on the 16 (cowbell holder) it looks factory. no extra holes, nothing altered.

I would like to trade for a kit in similar condition - original and complete, but if u got something cool that doesnt need a bunch of pieces or work ill listen.

id love to have a 12/14/18 set up but im cool with 12/14/20 as well.

not really interested in anything with a 22" bass drum. sorry :/

id like a vintage or new quality set, maybe a ludwig downbeat or a gretsch new classic bop or a vintage something or other.

let me know what u have and thanks alot

i am located in the North NJ/NYC area

I have a Slingerland Blue Agate Pearl in 12/14/18 that just sits there

The toms are pre-vent hole and pre-badge

The bass drum has a badge and vent hole but no tom mount - virgin from factory

The good - the wraps are pristine and the hardware is excellent, and all three drums sound awesome

The bad - the seller told me that the bearing edges on the toms have been re-worked and some goof ball drilled the bass drum for Ludwig floor tom leg mounts - I filled them with round head bolts and nuts that are sprayed black, it doesn't look bad

The bass drum has newer black painted hoops, I believe I still have the orignial "stick-saver" hoops somewhere ( I am told they actually came with the bass drum)

The finish on the three drums is gorgeous

I'll bet you would, seeing as a G. 18" BD is worth about double + the $$$ of your whole kit!
