Gretch Jim DandyThis guitar is what it is, no more no less. It’s a great beginners guitar. But I’ve been playing for near 50 years and I like it — a lot. First, it isn’t really a travel guitar. It is a 3/4-size parlor guitar and really more like a single 0 style guitar.
This guitar sounds great and is fun to play. Mine was quite playable out of the box and was difficult to put down. Sounds great to my ears especially for bluesy stuff. Sounds cool with a slide as well. This came with phosphor bronze strings on it and they seem to work well.
This guitar was better than expected when it came in (super fast). Plays well with minimal buzzing, haven't set it up yet. The sound is bright but at the same time has a little more bass than expected. It's light and comfortable to sit on the couch and play, well worth the price.
i bought this little gem after trying and playing quite a few acoustic guitar in all shapes and sizes and the prices to match but when i came across the Jim Dandy i loved it immediately!
I can honestly say, I don't think of playing any other guitar. It has redefined, what it is to be playing guitar (IMO). It really captures nuance, when you really put your fingers to it.
Yes. Until you replace the tuners with a set of 18:1. The tuners that come with it hold tune perfectly it's a 12:1 I prefer 18:1. I replace the plastic nut and saddle with a bone nut and saddle. Lowered the action 2mm 12 fret and set the intonation.
I’ve had a Jim Dandy for 4 years. Was given to me as a gift for travel. On the upside, it fits that bill quite nicely, having been on a cross country journey on Amtrak, in addition to dozens of road trips short and long.
My Jim Dandy parlor guitar arrived today. I just got home from a week long trip for work exhausted and thought well I will just unbox my new guitar and try it out in the morning. Six hours later lol I still didn't want to put it down. This guitar has a great tone for blues.
I bought this guitar day before yesterday,and received it today. I bought a "blemished" model to save $25..and I've been all over this guitar and found the blemish. A small..REALLY small mark,like from a marker,along the bottom about 1/32" long. You have to strain to see it!!
Bought this for my daughter for guitar class in school. It's actually a pretty nice guitar, however it's not a Martin or Taylor, but for the price it is above what I expected. I play it at night when she goes to bed and for a parlor sized guitar it has good volume, tone, and warmth.
