Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought ‘Rex Burst’ Acoustic Guitar Gretsch

Embrace the timeless charm and exceptional tone of the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought Rex Burst Acoustic Guitar, a masterpiece inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments featured in mail-order catalogs of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. The Jim Dandy™ models capture the spirit of early Gretsch® flat-top guitars, offering superior playability and remarkable tone.

Boasting a specially-designed slope shoulder body shape and a comfortable 24.75“ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Dreadnought combines a refreshingly compact form with the volume, projection, and bass response that dreadnought guitars are renowned for.

The X-braced body is expertly crafted from lightweight laminate tonewoods, striking the perfect balance between vintage warmth and long-lasting durability. The inviting “C”-shape neck ensures hours of comfortable playtime. Authentic vintage details such as the vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays add to its nostalgic character, making it the perfect companion for any musical gathering, from barnburners to jamborees.

Whether you’re strumming blues on the porch or enjoying speakeasy swing sessions, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought in Rex Burst is your ideal companion, suitable for both beginners and seasoned musicians.
