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 petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24“ scale length,
the Jim Dandy™ Parlor punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity
and throaty midrange for which parlor guitars are so beloved.
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.
