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 Parlor body shape and a short 24“ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Parlor punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which Parlor guitars are so beloved.
