[Press Release]
Gretsch USA is proud to incorporate some enduring and classic graphic elements from its past that die-hard Gretsch fans have been craving. Beginning January, the current “Since 1883″ square badge will change to the “DropG” Gretsch stop sign badge (first pic below) for all USA Custom drums. The “Since 1883″ square badge will still be available for add-on drum matching. Interior shell labels will change from the current red/white/blue “Gretsch American” label to a classic silver and black, serialized interior shell label (second pic below). Lastly, the Gretsch bass drum logo will move from the 12:00 clock-face position to an offset, 10:00 position.
In addition, Gretsch USA is also introducing several new finishes for 2009. New finish options include Red/Silver Duco, Piano Black Gloss Lacquer, Piano White Gloss Lacquer, Vintage Oyster White Nitron, and Sky Blue Pearl Nitron.
