Inspired by the historic Rex line of instruments offered by mail-order catalog in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, Jim Dandy models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars with the superior playability and best-in-class tone that their namesake suggests.
Featuring a comfortable and compact Parlor body shape and a modest 24.75in scale length, the Jim Dandy Parlor strikes the perfect sweet spot of versatile tone and approachable playability for a wide variety of musical settings.
The X-braced body is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods for an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the C-shape neck presents an inviting feel for hours of old-timey inspiration.
Period-correct details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, G-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays combine for a nostalgic personality destined for any barnburner or jamboree.
Well suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin’ to speakeasy swingin’, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.
