I have a Gretsch snare Model #4157. Can anyone tell me the true depth of the shell, as well as did they have snare beds and die-cast rims? Also, is their anyway to decipher the serial numbers.
Thanks In Advance

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

According to Gretsch's website....serial numbers are a rough guide to build date.....4 digit, early 60's.....5 digit mid 60's.....6 digit late 60's and beyond. Depth should be 5 1/2"....and snare beds are typical Gretsch.....deep. The drum should have die cast rims as well.....pics would help us a lot if you want more info.....
