Frequently Asked Questions
The Vintage Pearl wrap dampens the shell’s natural resonance slightly, resulting in a more controlled and focused tone with reduced overtones.
These come with Gretsch’s modern, heavy-duty floor tom legs – known for their stability and adjustability.
The interior features a Gretsch Silver Sealer lacquer finish, which is relatively thin allowing the maple’s natural tone to resonate while providing some protection.
