GRETSCH 6 LUG DIXIELAND - 60'S

Edit & Update March 30 2010:

The last photo shows what was under the wrap & glue - I think I'll be putting some Clear Polyurethane or Tung Oil on this Maple baby!

My eBay purchase arrived today. Lots of work to be done. I found the hoops and one arrived yesterday. The hoops cost 3x what I paid for the drum - haha.

I got my work cut out with this baby. The eBay parts hunt will continue.

I got the badge off with little trouble - it was tight but no damage taking it off. The key snap-in holder is in great shape. The edges are ratty looking. The wrap litterly fell off when I removed the hardware. It was as if it was held in place by the hardware????

The shell is really light.......surprised me how light it is. I wonder if it IS Maple? Should be - shouldn't it?

I'm going to wrap if for sure.

THIS IS OUT OF THE BOX TODAY
