General

The Jim Dandy Series acoustic guitars are not only an affordable starting point, but boast the charming looks of some of Gretsch's earliest six-strings, namely the old Rex models from the thirties, forties and fifties. This Parlor model is a compact, lightweight and smooth-playing, roots-focussed acoustic guitar with a laminated basswood body that helps shape warm sound.

The Jim Dandy Parlor: Authentically Detailed

As well as a semi-gloss finish, this vintage-style steel-string has been adorned with white pearloid position markers and an aged white pickguard stamped with a G logo. The C-profile neck is made of nato and has been topped with an 18-fret walnut fretboard with a 12-inch radius to guarantee a comfy playing feel. This modestly-sized and modestly-priced acoustic guitar is perfect for easy-listening styles like blues.

Wrote the following about Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor Rex Burst WN White Pickguard Acoustic Guitar

Dit is een gitaartje wat je naast de bank hebt staan en waar je bij elk reklameblok lekker op wegpingelt. Mooi afgewerkt en met een klein beetje vijlwerk aan de kam speelt hij als een trein. Ondanks de kleine kast een verrassend vol geluid. Petje af.
