Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert Rex Burst

Inspired by the historic "Rex" line of instruments offered through mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, the Jim Dandy™ models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars, boasting superior playability and the best tone in their class.

With a comfortable, compact concert body shape and a short 24.75" (62.865 cm) scale, the Jim Dandy™ Concert delivers the perfect combination of tonal versatility and easy playability across a variety of musical scenarios.

The X-braced body is crafted from select lutherie woods in lightweight laminate for the optimal balance of vintage woody tone and long-lasting reliability, while the "C"-shaped neck profile invites hours of playing, drawing inspiration from the good old days. Historically accurate details like the vintage-style anchored bridge, "G" pickguard graphic, painted pinstripe purfling, three-per-side open-gear tuning machines, and large dot fingerboard inlays combine to create a nostalgic personality perfect for parties and emotional moments.

Ideal for porch blues or speakeasy swing, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert is a versatile companion for beginners and experienced players alike. Experts.
