5422 Cadillac Green - in stock at MF
I just called Musicians Friend.
They list the 5422T , no image.
The operator said: it's Cadillac Green.. and it's in stock. ready to ship.
It's also listed as an " FSR " .. so who knows - if when it's gone.. it's gone ( in this color... )
With this weekends 15% off coupon code - that puts it at $679
Help me.. I can't buy another guitar. . and I'm really waiting to see the red. .but Cadillac Green... ooohh..

Hey I called guitar center for that same 15% off deal, but they said fender/gretsch is one of the company's that declined to participate in the sale.. I asked for a list, they sent me to a website that listed almost every company under the sun that declined to participate.... So stupid.. |

That's pretty bogus.. and MF is the only place that appears to have this new model < for now anyway > .
It does relieve the pressure for me to pull the trigger ... as the discount price and the awesomeness of a 5422 in Cadillac Green was nearly too much to withstand.
now the conversation can resume.. that even at $799.. this sounds like the new regime of high quality Electromatics is upon us.
Cadillac Green is an incredibly nice color.. I hope it's not a special run that will not be available later

Musicians Friend, Music 123 and Guitar Center, all have the FSR G5420 and G5422 in Cadillac Green. As for the 15 % discount on these guitars not being honored by GC, I'll suggest, based on recent experience, that you try one of the other two.

They're all owned by the same company - Bain Capital, aka Mitt Romney's former company.

One of the GDP members jacodiego created this CGI rendition of what the new G5420 could look like. I believe it's 100% accurate.

That mock up looks great. From the looks of the white & gold double cut and all the specs I've read, if the final product comes out looking that good, I may have to get my hands on one. Color me excited. |

It should bear a resemblance to the late 60s Viking, no?

[quote=Uncle Daddy;386245]Will it look like this?[/qu
I was with my daughter at a local supermarket and saw a Cadillac in the exact Gretsch color but I think the car color was first.
I have a magazine called 'Guitar Magazine' published in England.
They did a Gretsch edition in August 2001. It has a Caddy Green Country Club as it was called at the time on the cover.
This magazine is probably a collector's itrm by now. I wonder if it is still in publication?

Their sales have never covered any of the things I've been looking for. I can't really think of anything that could possibly be included.
MF won't charge sales tax here in MN, but GCenter will...
