This old Gretsch snare drum looks and sounds very nice. As the title States, the interior of the shell is not painted. It is a 3-ply maple shell. The exterior does have some scratches but overall looks nice. When I bought it it had a Ludwig strainer on it. I put a replacement Gretsch strainer and did plug the 2 holes that held the Ludwig strainer. The badge is also a replacement badge. The rims do have scratches and nicks. Depending on where you live, there may be a sales tax added onto the selling cost. It will be packaged with great care. If you live in Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico the shipping cost will be more than $30. Thanks for looking.
