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 Dreadnought is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.FeaturesBasswood body with X-bracing12th fret, 24.75”-scale nato set neckVintage-style 20 fretsSynthetic bone nutWalnut fingerboard with pearloid dot inlaysString-through walnut bridge with compensated saddleSingle-ply aged white pickguard with “G” graphic1950s-style vintage open-gear die-cast tuningmachines and vintage end-pin strap buttonsNeckHeadstock: 1950's Gretsch 3x3Neck Material: NatoNeck Finish: Semi-GlossNeck Shape: "C" ShapeFingerboard Radius: 12" (305 mm)Fingerboard Material: WalnutPosition Inlays: White Pearloid DotSide Dots: BlackNumber of Frets: 20 (14 to Body)Truss Rod: Single-ActionTruss Rod Nut: 4 mm HexString Nut: Synthetic BoneNut Width: 1.6825" (42.7 mm)Nut Material: Synthetic BoneFret Size: VintageScale Length: 24.75" (629 mm)BodyBody: Laminated SapeleBody Finish: Semi-GlossBody Shape: DreadnoughtBody Top: Laminated SapeleBody Binding: Aged WhiteBody Back: Laminated SapeleBody Sides: Laminated SapeleBody Style: DreadnoughtBody Material: Laminated SapeleBracing: X-BracingWaist: 10.125" (25.7 cm)Rosette: White/Black RingsHardwareBridge: Walnut with Compensated SaddleBridge Pins: Aged WhitePickguard: 1-Ply Black with Gold "G"Hardware Finish: NickelTuning Machines: Open-Gear Die-CastStrings: D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze, Light (.012-.053 Gauges)Strap Buttons: Vintage End-Pin
