Steve, interesting and informative Gretsch videos, and the guitars sound great in both! In the second video, I can't really hear much difference in the tone of the two Gretsches--not enough to choose the Japanese Gretsch 6120 over the Korean 5420 model--and I especially dig the tone of the Korean 5420 in the "Wicked Game" segment. I also like the simpler aesthetics of the 5420 better. The latest 2021 Korean 5420 version, which I just got, has the golden-colored pickguard similar to the expensive Japanese 6120 Gretsch, and that adds nicely to its looks.
