The G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top parlor-style guitar, inspired by the Gretsch "Rex" parlor guitars of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, embodies the essence of everyone's first guitar. Crafted with select guitar woods and fully lined and braced, it offers a warm and pleasing tone with a 24" scale for comfortable playing. Perfect for both picked and fingerstyle techniques, the Jim Dandy features a non-cutaway basswood body with X-bracing, providing a powerful and resonant voice. The top-load walnut bridge with a compensated synthetic bone saddle ensures even intonation along the neck.
The "C"-shaped nato neck, joining the body at the 12th fret, hosts a comfortable and smooth-playing walnut fingerboard with vintage-style frets and pearloid dot inlays. The G9500 also boasts 1950s-style vintage open-gear die-cast tuning machines, nickel hardware, and a single-ply white pickguard with a "G" graphic. Ideal for songwriting, practice, or even as a travel guitar, this little wonder is suitable for beginners and seasoned pros alike.
Comfortable to play and full of woody vintage tone with a full-sounding bass, the Jim Dandy will inspire hours of playing joy. As part of Gretsch's Roots Collection, the G9500 aims to revive the classic Rex acoustic guitar. The Austin Bazaar bundle includes a strap, string winder, strings, picks, and an Austin Bazaar Polishing Cloth, providing everything you need in one box.
