Gretsch’s G-5000 Solid Series feature a single-ply, solid snare drum and are available in either solid maple or solid walnut. Each shell includes solid maple reinforcement hoops to ensure true shell roundness, and shells are finished in clear Nitro Cellulose gloss lacquer.

All models are available in either Lightning or Dunnett throw-off and butt plate.
