I owned it since January 2007, reu of the United States before it was released in France, but without the accessories .... I pay at all and for every 600 euros, and a drumkit Maple This quality of this finish, I saw that in this Gretsch! ! !
I previously owned the same model but birch, there was a lack of presicion on the toms, but the Catalina Maple meets all my requirements, it is very versatile, the only defect is that there is no afford other size fts the Fusion kit ...
The sound is typical Gretsch, a heat colorful, correct answer by tapping, no saturation heavy hits, in short, for me this is the best QUALITPRIX! ! !
I do not switch brands but to model a little later, my being the Gretsch rve Broadkaster .....
