Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert Acoustics Series Guitar (2024)

Join James G as we take a journey back in time to the golden era of music with the Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert Acoustics Series guitar! Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments available through mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s, the Jim Dandy models recapture the enchanting charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars. Not only do they embody a nostalgic essence, but they also offer superior playability and exceptional tone that sets them apart in their class.

Discover the petite and portable parlor body shape combined with a comfortable 24” scale length that allows the Jim Dandy Parlor to deliver a powerful punch well beyond its size. Its distinct tonal clarity and robust midrange shine through, making parlor guitars a cherished choice among enthusiasts.

Crafted with an X-braced body from select lightweight laminate tonewoods, this guitar achieves a perfect blend of vintage tone and modern durability. The “C”-shape neck ensures an inviting playability that can keep you strumming for hours, inspired by the sounds of yesteryear. With period-correct features like a vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays, the Jim Dandy Concert guitar is steeped in a rich, nostalgic personality that’s perfect for any musical gathering.

Whether you’re a fan of bluesy porch pickin’ or looking to bring some speakeasy swing to your next performance, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert is your ideal companion. Its versatility and character make it a fantastic choice for musicians of all levels, from beginners to seasoned players. Join us as we explore the unique features and sounds that make the Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert Acoustics Series guitar a standout instrument in today’s market.
