Argh. If that white/gold 5420 comes out, I'm gonna have to decide between that and the new Pro Jet...

They did the same thing with the new excelsior amp/ For about a month you got no photo, then it just disappeared al together. Then its back again. The mystery continues!

A CADDY GREEN ELECTROMATIC with Filters!!!!!! Well, I will be buying that. Thanks for saving me years of not having one (a CG CC) Gretsch!

EDIT: It does say FSR. Does this mean Fender Special Run? I.E. These will be limited?

I believe FSR stands for factory special run. Usually with GC this means limited amounts.

When some of the 512x came out, I think some of the colors were special run for certain stores/chains. Even the white 5120 was a special run at first. But after it ran out, the standard model was still around for a while.

The "T" in 5420T throws me... Does T indicate Thin, such as Gibson has a 350T?

I've done lots of web searches, and spoken to several major retailers - there is no information on any of these new models here in the UK. None of the major retailers know anything about it, it's not being offered for pre-sale anywhere.

ho hum...
