Vintage Gon Bops 176 dollars
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 2:37 amI think the only thing Gon Bops on this drum is the tag. The body has a different profile to the real Gon Bops...but again I may be wrong.

Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 4:05 pmPsych is right, it's an early Gon Bops. You can tell because the early Gon Bops had clipped corners at the lug plates, versus the rounded corner and square corners of later models.
I think the sellers camera has distorted the shape of the drum in the image though.
Nice little project.
