The orange 5123 series were offered as a Guitar Center special for Thanksgiving/Christmas in 2011. Originally only one was thought to be available at each store, but as they sold, replacements appeared. After more than a year of successful sales, Gretsch added the bass to their regular line, but in Burgundy rather than the original series orange. It is thought by many that the orange model and its restricted offering were a market test that proved to be successful.
