1972 Gretsch Limited Edition Maple Samples

That Great Gretsch Sound …

Iconic snare featuring all original hardware including die cast hoops and a 5” maple shell with silver sealer. After Gretsch was purchased by Baldwin in 1967, they entered the “boutique” market and made one-of-a-kind drums. This was one of them. One of our favorite snares of all-time. Awesome sound.
