I've got a black G5420LH that I bought a couple years ago that became the gateway drug for the brand. I've since acquired a G6118LHT Anni in Smoke Green and a G2622LH in Georgia Green.
So this beee-uut popped up on Reverb yesterday. It's a second from the manufacturer. It's been fully checked out and no issues found. THe posting was from a dealer/shop who seems to sell a lot of seconds, etc.
That I recall - this color was never released in this country. If it was, it was a very limited number. And it has a Bigsby to boot. That's like hen's teeth for sub-$1000 Gretsch's for us lefties.
My black 5420 (a hard tail) will be sold.
I'm very stoked!

Nice color. I have an orange 5422T (double cut version) with Bigsby. Amazingly, stays in tune with vigorous wanking!

Gretsch's are very unique. I went the classic route several years ago and bought a 6120 with Bigsby. Great guitar, sounds different, fun to play. Congrats on your new geetar.

Did you get it today? How is it? |

Yep - got it yesterday. It is all that! I also don't see why it's a second. It is, but it must be for some reason I can't find. That's fine with me.
I just ordered a space control space bridge for it.

I thought about a rocking bridge, but my 6118T has a space control and I likes it.

SC bridge is first choice but had a leftover RB bridge from another project. Tried that and luckily it works. And fit a softer Reverend spring for smoothing out the whammy bar action.

I'm a Tele guy and love Fogerty's work in this song...but the Gretsch, more so in the recorded version of this song, sounds killer!

Nice guitar! ...not my cup of tea, as it's not pointy enough  - but I like the color! |
