Step back in time with the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour ‘Frontier Stain’ Acoustic Guitar, inspired by the vintage “Rex” line of instruments featured in mail-order catalogs from the 1930s to the ’50s. These Jim Dandy™ models capture the essence and playability of early Gretsch flat-top guitars while delivering exceptional tone.
This guitar boasts a petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24″ scale length, offering distinct tonal clarity and a rich midrange that parlor guitars are renowned for. The X-braced body is expertly crafted from lightweight laminate tonewoods, providing a perfect balance of vintage warmth and rugged durability. The comfortable “C”-shape neck invites hours of old-time musical inspiration. Authentic details like the vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays infuse a nostalgic personality perfect for barnburners and jamborees.
Whether you’re strumming blues on the porch or swinging to speakeasy tunes, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor is your trusty companion, ideal for both beginners and seasoned players.
