Worth trying to restore these SSB Gretsch ?
Came upon this Gretsch stop sign era kit and wondering what the path to recovery looks like? Must be a fusion/rock set -they're 24x14, 14x10, 14x10, 16x16. Wish they were different sizes but am still curious to see what sound and playing I can get out of them.
Cosmetically they're really rough, but it seems like the shells aren't too bad ? The bass drum has suffered the worst, but the edges on the toms might be okay. I don't really know though so I would love any opinions. All I can say is that running my finger around the edges, the toms are smooth. The hoops won't be cheap to replace, but I'm willing to invest if they'll sound like they should.
