Gretsch Roots Collection Jim Dandy Parlour Rex Burst Acoustic Guitar
Gretsch Roots Collection Jim Dandy Parlour Rex Burst Acoustic Guitar
Inspired by the historic Rex line of instruments offered by mail-order catalogue 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 parlour body shape and a short 24 scale length, the Jim Dandy Parlour punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which parlour 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 barn-burner or jamboree.
Well suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin to speak-easy swingin, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour is a ramblin companion for newbies and old-timers alike.
