My 1950's Gretsch WMP kit

Posts: 759 Threads: 176

Just wanted to share some new pics of a kit I scored a while back and finally got it all polished up for picture day. I originally posted pics when I first purchased them off Craigslist but it was when the site was trying out the new format and the post was eventually lost in the shuffle. I LOVE the sound of this kit. Out of all my years of collecting I think this is probably my favorite sounding set of the entire lot. This one was pretty clean when I got it other than a 50's Slingerland type Muffler where you would normally see the Pratt and no grommet on the kick badge for some reason.

And I have not yet scored the snare I want to go with it yet but here is the kit set up with my 47 Broadkaster that I refinished a while back.
