Hey guys, I’m in need of some education if anyone can spare the time to educate. I got this Gretsch snare today and want to get its butt plate and throw replaced because what’s on it isn’t original. However, I don’t know anything about the snare. I don’t know what year or era it’s from, what it’s made of, how to decipher the model/serial numbers or anything. If anyone of the top of their head can look at this and tell me what it is I’d be appreciative! The badge says “Grestch USA” on top and its flipped on the bottom saying the same thing. Model number is “GUSAMK, 4156AB” and the serial is “61976. Gretsch USA Maple?
Again, any help will be very much appreciated! Thanks!
