Ghad! I saw that one and quickly turned away. Horrible. Like that cleft-pallet baby commercial. A blood curdling thing to see.

People do nasty things!
I recently bought a Grestch kit for restoration (if I ever get around to it :)
The original owner of my new old 60's RB kit had each shell painted Titanium white over the Champagne sparkle wrap in an autobody shop. Cost him $600 for this really nice paint job. This was done in the early '80's before vintage Gretsch became "valuable" again.
I think, in the owners mind, his father's aging 60's Champagne sparkle kit was not up to '80's looks, so he had it painted white to make it current. Hurting
Probably the owner of the kit on Ebay wanted to "spruce up" an aging old kit and gave up, hopefully prior to vintage Gretsch returning to desirable status.
