Les 5120 et 5122 sont arrêtées... Les 5420 et 5422 vont prendre la relève.

...Kim Falcon arrived in mid-afternoon, so Joe kicked the party up another notch, starting with a bit of a bombshell: the 5120 and 5122 — two of Gretsch’s most popular models — are going away. “But wait’ll you see what we’ve got now,” he said as he unveiled the all-new 5422.
And by all-new, I mean really all-new. The 5422s Joe brought had gone straight from the factory to the marketing department to be used for the promo materials, then straight to the Roundup. No one outside of FMIC had seen them.
And what a bunch of winners. The new 5422 features blacktop Filters, a slightly thinner body and a host of other improvements all of us were too busy staring slack-jawed to really ask about. And it wasn’t just six-strings. There’s a new 5422 bass that will be available in both short and long-scale versions. The short-scale Joe brought was simply fantastic. And there’s a new 5422-12, offering double the strings for your inner McGuinn.
Joe gave a red 5422 a strong workout on a few numbers, just to show us what it can do (a lot), then did what he does best: share the joy. With Kim capably providing the traditional guitar-shaking duties, the first big winner was Tubwompus, who snagged the bass and is probably giving it a good workout already...
