Hi Everybody,

Here's a pic of my '52 Gretsch shells that I had wrapped by Willie Martinez at Steve Maxwell Drums. Long story as to why they had to be wrapped, look at some older posts. Can't wait to get them assembled...more pics to follow.

Greg, what did he charge you to recover them?

I paid SMD $1550...but, $275 of that was Willie's time trying to remove paint that I had applied over the ....are you sitting down?....Nitron Copper Mist. Check out some of my older posts for the sad story. It does have a happy ending though. He had to strip the interior as well. Great people there, they did a fantastic job.

Looks great! I'm planning on having him work out the edges/re-rings on my slingy kit when he gets back to nyc next week.
