BD T-ROD IDs Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Posts: 3165 Threads: 969

Can someone please confirm the manufacturers of the rods in the pics that I've posted?

I believe the first ones to be 60s Slingerland rods and the second ones 60s Gretsch rods. Do I win the prize?

Also, if the first ones are Slingerlands should they have two washers per rod when mounted? If the second ones are Gretsch how many washers should they have per rod (1 or 2)?

Thanks!

Don't know about the first pic, but the second is definitely Gretsch. They are identical to my two early and mid 70's BD t-rods. And, both BD claw sets have only one washer.

The first pic looks like Slingerland "torpedo" t-rods.
