Grestch Floor Tom Leg Mounts
I count three plies, with those leg mounts, I'm thinking late 50's. Looks like there is a sign of old adhesive (dark colors in the wood grain) under t...

Wow! I just happened to have this exact strainer and butt. It is brand new, but has accumulated surface stuff from being in a drawer for years that ma...
12 years agoWere late 50's Gretsch ever stained?
No answers? Is this a dumb question? If there were stain finishes available, why aren't they listed in the catalogs?
12 years agoWere late 50's Gretsch ever stained?
It's coming to that time in my restore/mod where I have to decide whether I stain or wrap my late 50's Gretsch 3-ply drums. I've researched, and have...
