Frequently Asked Questions
The pearl finish is durable, but it's still a lacquer, so careful handling and occasional polishing will keep it looking pristine.
The 12x8 and 16x16 sizes are fairly standard, allowing for easy compatibility with other hardware and heads.
While sharing the core Gretsch DNA, the US Custom series has a slightly more modern projection and attack compared to some of the truly vintage models.
