That's a fine looking kit. Too bad about the yellowing on the FT. Knowing Maxwell's, I'm sure they want a fortune for the thing.
Thanks for sharing.

No doubt it will command quite a bit of cash! I think even crazy numbers may be justified for this, though...

A three ply 18" BD - that is a rare bird for sure! First one I've ever seen.

From the sound of it, they want HUGE money (i.e. over $15K) for this kit. I personally would never spend that kind of dough on a pieced-together kit that doesn't even have consistently faded wraps, no matter how much I had to spend or how much I like Gretsch 3-ply.
Good ol' Steve - I love how he also points out that the snare is only passable sounding at best.
For that kind of money, you could buy 10 beautiful vintage kits. I guess I'm just too practical.

How about one 12" deep with re-rings?

"I know that there are people who have perfected the process of safely removing some of the "junk" that builds up over the years on WMP and can get the color of that FT to match the rest of the kit."

Why are the BD rods 60's style?

Over $15k. Wow. I don't really get that. Maybe $5-6k but then what do i know. If it were totally matching and I new maybe a Jazz great had used it then maybe...........
I know vintage guitars have reached outrageous price tags.
