Info:
It featured a thin, three-ply shell and produced what was to be, “That Great Gretsch Sound.” Today, in the Gretsch Drum Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, the Broadkaster has returned, bringing with it all of the sonic brilliance of its namesake. Broadkaster shells are made with our North American maple/poplar/maple formula. Each shell includes an interior-ply scarf joint that supplies added structural integrity to thin, musical shells. Like all USA-made Gretsch drums, shell interiors are finished with classic Gretsch Silver Sealer. The shell is hand finished with a roundover bearing edge, which allows greater surface contact between the bearing edge and drumhead. The result is tone that is incredibly deep, rich and warm.
