Frequently Asked Questions
The Renown is a bit more focused and less overtly 'vintage' than a Broad Kustom, offering a more modern, refined tone while retaining Gretsch’s signature warmth.
Gretsch’s tom legs are generally very well-designed, but occasional tightening might be needed, especially with frequent transport, as is typical with most drum hardware.
The high gloss lacquer is beautiful but requires careful handling; minor scratches and fingerprints are common, and a protective coating might be a good idea for serious players.
