Need some help with a production date. Last viewed: 22 hours ago

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

Hello everyone! I am a newbie here, but a lover of ALL vintage drums. A year ago I purchased a vintage set of Gretsch (14x22, 9x13, 16x16, 5 1/2x14) and I am really loving them. Through the Gretsch company I have learned that they actually can not date them for me due to the company changing hands. Does anyone know of the dates that the 80's square badges were made.

My contact at Gretsch seems to think that these are Jasper shells, and each of them have the enternal mufflers. Thanks for any help!

I've seen the badge timeline, but I was looking for something a little more solid than that. To be perfectly honest, I was a little shocked when Gretsch couldn't even look it up by the serial #. Thanks though!
