The question is not what vintage kits you can buy cheap IMO.
The original post was about selling a Gretsch kit used in the studio.
1) This era of Gretsch is one loved by many studio drummers.
2) To replace the kit with something that has an equal pedigree would be hard or expensive.
3) The colour doesn't add a great deal to the value IMO.

70's and 80's Gretsch kits are sought after.........but for their recording pedigree (and sound of course).
A good alternative would be to buy a new kit by one of the many mainstream manufacturers. I'd rather have the Gretsch.
I'm neither a Gretsch fanatic or own a similar kit by the way.
