[COLOR="DarkRed"]Hi. Sounds like a nice kit. The reso edge on the bass wouldn't be much of an issue...but the batter on the tom would be, for resale value.

However, heck...if you need to have 'em recut, you need to have 'em recut. Just try to have it done to match the original Rogers edge profile. That's a little tricky, but not by any means super-difficult.

I mean we are talking maybe a $50 dip in resale value, not more than that.....[/COLOR]

If you have them done, get it done by someone who has great reputation. Lawton or someone in his class. Then, your hurt to value will be greatly decreased.
