Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Rex Burst

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 superior playability and best-in-class-tone to boot). Featuring a specially-designed slope shoulder body shape and a modest 24.75-inch scale length, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought 6-String Acoustic Guitar offers a refreshingly comfortable and compact form factor without sacrificing the volume, projection and bass response for which dreadnought guitars are so revered. The X-braced body is crafted with a select lightweight basswood body with a laminated basswood top 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 Dreadnought is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.
