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.
