If you're looking for a guitar- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET THIS.
I bought the metallic one a couple of weeks ago and haven't fallen in love with a guitar like this in years. Mine was almost perfectly set up out of the box, the build quality is exquisite, it looks like a piece of art in person, and it plays with an acoustic/electric mix that's incredibly unique. A rosewood fretboard on a sub $1000 guitar these days is unheard of. Very impressed.
It ships with .11 gauge strings which make it sound perfect out of the box, but I bend like crazy and couldn't deal with that. I changed them out to .09 gauge...and that was a bit too light. Don't go below .10 on these guitars.The bridge is so smoothly engineered you can actually change the action while all the strings are in tune. I can't even do that on my Les Paul
The Bigsby is nicely constructed and solidly installed (my ES335 you could actually see the body move with the Bigsby installed). I didn't have any detuning issues once the strings were stretched out. The Filter'Tron take overdrive and modulation effects very well (you're not going to want to put this through a rectifier or anything).
The 5410 has a thinner body than the 5420, IMO making it a lot easier to play standing up.
This is one of the few "perfect" guitars I've come across in the last several years. At this price they're giving it away. Rating it a solid BUY.

How does one find these deals on the Adorama site?
When you just search regularly you only see the MSRP pricing
From the URLs it appears to be email and SlickDeal specific. I question not how but can I resist. They make it hard when the price is at or below used prices.

I've signed up for the emails and don't receive these deals. I've only ever seen these on slick deals. OP Iconian probably works for or has exclusive access to these deals. 🤷🏽 ♀️
From experience this is a badass guitar, stock, and nice deal on this thing right now - thanks Iconian for keeping us in the goods. Now more basses pls
Edit: also tough to find a rosewood board from Gretsch/Fender at this price point - pickups on these sound great against filtertrons, own a country gent and 59 country club RI and these are a joy to play/record well. At this price you could get it plek'd and/or hotrodded with your choice of filter/supertrons or dearmonds and come out flush, but it wouldn't need the upgrades IMO.
If you click the Vintage White color, that one comes up at the same price.
These are part of the last wave of the MIK Electromatics (if that matters to anyone). Even at the regular price, these are great guitars; at the sale price, they are no-brainers.

I got one in the previous sale too. The phantom metallic one, and I absolutely love it. Mine was also nearly perfect setup and I haven't done anything to it but play it.
The *one* thing I'm having an issue with is finding a gig bag / case it'll fit in. I contacted Gretsch customer support for what they recommended, but the hard case they pointed me to I've seen reports of it not quite fitting in due to the bigsby. And it's not listed on sweetwater's site as a 'certified fit' case. But then I've seen reports some of the ones they've listed won't work either, as this the ones they list are for semi-hollowbody guitars, and this seems quite a bit thicker than a standard ES-335 style.
There's a youtube video of someone showing the gig bag Gretsch recommends and it's too tight for my liking. And I'd rather have a hard case for gutiars that can be crushed...
Can't find any local stores with a hard case to try before buying either.
Until I can find someone that's like 'I have this exact case and this exact model and they fit fine without squeezing the guitar to death' ... my search continues.
For now it can fit in an acoustic dreadnaught gig bag for some scratch protection when taking it out of the house to places, but it flops around a bit in there.

I didn't know Adorama became a Guitar Center competitor. I only knew them as a camera store. Geez, they are going to run Guitar Center out of business with how cheap they are offering quality guitars lately.

The case for this guitar is the same one for the 5420t: the model is Gretsch G6241FT
The 5410 is a bit thinner than the 5420, but not enough that it will make a difference (the Bigsby holds in in place basically).
