Vintage Gretsch Guitar

A stop
sign badge 1970’s Gretsch Progressive Jazz kit in Champagne Sparkle wrap.
8x12”, 14x14”, 14x20” with all original hardware. Some rash on the 12” wrap,
muffler knob and rim, and some scratching on the bass from the rack tom mount
when it was folded over against the shell. A great sounding kit with perfectly
aged shells. That Great Gretsch Sound is alive in this kit. Pics tell the
story.

Because
this is a Stop Sign Badge #1 kit that came right after Gretsch switched from
Round Badges, many players feel these are essentially identical to RB kits.
