The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor 6-String Guitar: Inspired by the Historic 'Rex' Line
Inspired by the historic 'Rex' line of instruments offered by mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor 6-String Guitar embodies the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars. This petite and portable parlor guitar boasts superior playability and best-in-class tone, making it a ramblin' companion for newbies and old-timers alike.
Body Construction: The X-braced body of this 6-string acoustic guitar is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods, providing an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability. The parlor body shape and short 24-inch scale length give the Jim Dandy Parlor a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange that parlor guitars are so beloved for.
Neck Construction: The acoustic parlor model features a semi-glossy Nato 'C'-shaped neck, presenting an inviting feel for hours of old-timey inspiration. This neck construction allows for superior playability, ensuring a comfortable experience for players.
Vintage Details: 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 to create a nostalgic personality destined for any barnburner or jamboree. These vintage-inspired features evoke the charm and spirit of the early Gretsch flat-top guitars that inspired the Jim Dandy Parlor.
Finish: Resplendent with stunning nickel finish hardware, the Jim Dandy guitar is available in a noteworthy Rex Burst finish, adding to its vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Well-suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin' to speakeasy swingin', the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor is a versatile and compelling instrument that delivers on both playability and tone, making it a must-have for fans of vintage-inspired guitars.
