You found a G5620T-CB for $487 (including tax)?

What a great price but it looks like they sold out. I wonder if anybody from AGF bought one for that price.

They’re great guitars. I love mine!

If PaulP1960 is actually talking about the 5622 (which I suspect) the green is sold out and walnut is still available.

I snagged a green last night for $449 plus tax. I got a tracking number today, so I got in while they still had one.

That is a great price for a 5622! I thought I’d gotten a great deal on mine.

I think you will be very happy with your purchase!

What model did you buy for $487? The 5622? Or, the 5620T-CB?

Now comes the challenge of finding the right case.

Sweetwater had them for a decent price. I have the SKB w/TSA locks for my 5622. It’s well built. My 5620’s won’t fit the SKB for my 5622 though. Same depth, but the dual cutaway vs the single cut is the issue.

I believe it’s this one...

The 5622 was $449 + tax yesterday.

The Gretsch G2622t (MIC) case and the higher quality/price (TKL) G6267 both fit the G5622t very well.

Yep. But, hohen references spending $487 (including tax) and then references it as the 5620T. Guessing he mis-typed and meant 5622. Although, I did miss that the 5622’s on sale were MIC not Korea.

According to the description, the ones on sale have rosewood fret boards, which should mean MIK. I think the new MIC models have laurel fret boards.

Ah. That’s certainly a tell. And having Hi’Los. Rosewood board and Hi’lo pickups makes it a MIK. Good catch!
