Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments offered by mailorder catalog in the 1930s, ‘40s and ’50s, Jim Dandy™ models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flattop guitars with the superior playability and bestinclass tone that their namesake suggests.

Featuring a comfortable and compact concert body shape and a modest 24.75“ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Concert strikes the perfect sweetspot of versatile tone and approachable playability for a wide variety of musical settings.

The Xbraced 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 oldtimey inspiration. Periodcorrect details such as a vintagestyle pinned bridge, “G”graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3onaplate opengear 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 Concert is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and oldtimers alike.
