Wow... I wish I had waited for a G5420. It already has nice pickups. And I am a sucker for the humpblock inlays. I am not seeing these around yet.

Just curious

Beautiful, that green is also a color I would seriously consider. When did these get released? Price jump over the 5200, nice features. Want to hear more about the tone.

I am sure that is a killer combo. I already have the Vox AC4TV, just waiting on my new G5422.

Congrats!

Congrats on your new rig, Hooky!

If I drop black-top Filtertrons into my 5120, it will never be a 5420. But can it be a 52-and-a-half-20?

I think these 5420's look great, I'm gassing for the Aspen Green one....

Looks awesome! Lately, I've been reaally tempted on picking up one in Aspen Green or Sunburst.

Dontcha just love that breakup on the 1/4 watt setting?


Peace & Love
