Ooh this sounds good. I think the RB's win but it'll be interesting. Thanks.

The only thing is the comparsion is a little skewed due to the 2 kits are not the same sizes ?

Looking forward to this although Steve Maxwell says he can tune a USA custom to sound exactly the same as a RB kit. Also exciting news from NAMM this year is the return of the 3 ply shell.

I'm sure that both kits can and will sound awesome.

It'll be a fun test. Cool1

I did this about a year ago with my '66 RB kit and my Brooklyn bop kit

Ambassadors all around on both kits and they sounded almost identical

only real noticeable difference was the 20" on the RB and the 18" on the Brooklyn

both kits sound amazing and I love them both dearly as I do all my Gretsch kits

looking forward to this comparison

I am surprised more people are not super excited about this.
