Gretsch Cadillac Green

Posts: 1362 Threads: 229

Just got these today. They need to be cleaned up so excuse the dust.

No mods, extra holes or the like. Finding a snare will be like winning the lotto.

Normally I don't like 13 16 22 kits but I will let it slide this one time.

NICE man! That is a great rare find so congrats!

Love to hear any story behind the kit?

A round badge Gretsch is on my list down the road.

We both had a good week! ;-)

Amazing! About the only thing more rare would be a surviving cameo coral kit, and I'm not so sure such a thing even exists.
