Gretsch Renown Color ?

I like it. A lot!!!!

It appears to be something rare and unique, which is hard to come by in mass produced kits. I have a Renown in Blue Burst.

I can understand your desire to have deeper floor toms. but I would have a hard time parting with that kit, especially since you have the matching snare and 8" tom.

Try posting an ad on Craigslist to trade someone for a Renown kit in the size/colors that you are interested in. You may not have to pay anything, and would likely find a taker or 2 I would think.
 
The finish you have is "Vintage Burst". It was originally a Catalina Birch finish but was expanded to the Renowns as a prototype. See my Gretsch Cat Birch in vintage burst below.

Thanks for your input. Do you have an idea what year these were made?
