30 Degree "Gretsch Edge" Services: Success!!!!!

 Just thought I'd share this -- I finished and delivered an edge project on a customer's Gretsch Renown Maples.
Wow, Steve! I had a chance to set them up and tune them the way I like them today. I don't know if it's that particular edge or just a better quality edge in general but the first thing i noticed was more attack and more sound of stick impact! I don't know if they are resonating more but i perceive that the resonance is more pure so less weird overtones. They are definitely warm and mellow and classic gretsch sounding, or at least as close as they'll come! they remind me of the drum sound on Jeff Beck's Official Bootleg '06 which has got to be my favorite drum sound! lol oh and I forgot to mention the kick! dat s*** is off da hook! I was gonna put new heads on but I think they sound awesome just the way they are! Thanks! Totally worth every penny!

All set to do 60 degree edges

Howdy Campers,
Doing a job for a customer wanting me to refurbish edges on a Gretsch kit. So, had to do a few mods to my router table. Ready to go.
