Anybody heard of them? I worked the Bill Gaither show last nite
and while talking to the drummer, Greg ?, I saw he was using
custom built Punkinators. I didn't get to handle them, but the
fit and finish looked real nice to me. I'm sure they were just a
keller maple shell. With that kinda' show, he never really got to
give 'em a workout, but they sounded fine. I can't find any real
reference online so I'm reaching out here. I beleive they are out
of the Nashville area.
btw, Greg is a real nice guy willing to talk and answer some
questions. Thanks.

There's a set on the nashville craigslist.
I almost replied asking how much it would cost to paint over the logo.

The finish was excellent and looked much better than the horrible orange
peel you see on most "Keller Kustom" kits.

But man, what a stupid name.

I saw that kit too while trying to get info. I didn't like the
sizes though. 12,14,18,22 if I remember correctly. The name I was
looking for is Greg Ritchie. I thought the name sucked as well,
but I can see them coming out with some custom paint theme in an
orange with a green pinstripe sort of thing. At least it would
relate to the name.
