Members SkiAz4Free Posted July 30, 2008 Members Share Posted July 30, 2008 So, the whole line of Catalina Birch's are discontinued, and I knew this would bite me in the ass... I never got around to getting the add-on 16" floor tom, and now they are pretty much non-existant. Saw one in a different finish go on the bay for around $150. Anyone know where I might be able to locate one in Dark Walnut? The best that G.C. can do is to "ask Gretsch to make one", and I know how that will go. They really blow chode.

Members SkiAz4Free Posted July 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks Thirsty! Hadn't seen that one yet... and it's DAMN close to the Birch. Got a call into Massmusic.net, but they're kinda taking the "special order" route, which could take up to 120 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members k7mto Posted July 31, 2008 Members Share Posted July 31, 2008 Looks nice! I spent many months looking for a 14" SCP birch floor tom to no avail. I finally snagged a 14" Catalina birch to fill the gap between my 12" and 16" Indigo Blue SCP kit. The finish is virtually identical with the Cat being a tiny bit shinier/newer. If you didn't notice the Gretsch badge you'd never know it didn't come with the kit Can't find a pic with both floors but here it is with the rest of the Tama's...

Members SkiAz4Free Posted August 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2008 Looksee what Mr. UPS guy just dropped off! I can't identify the badge though... looks "Asian" for sure, same stain, leg mounts, and lugs as the Catalina Birch, possibly the Maples too, but no serial #. I'll get some better pics up in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
