JIM DANDY CONCERT
Inspired by the historic "Rex" range of instruments offered through mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, the Jim Dandy models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars, with superior playability and best-in-class tone as their namesake suggests.
Featuring a comfortable and compact concert body shape and a modest 24.75" scale length, the Jim Dandy Concert hits the sweet spot between versatile tone and accessible playability for a wide variety of musical contexts.
The X-braced body is made from lightweight laminated woods selected for an optimal balance between vintage woody tone and reliable durability, while the "C"-shaped neck offers an inviting feel for hours of old-school inspiration. Period details such as a vintage-style pin bridge, a graphic "G" pickguard, painted binding stripes, open-gear 3-on-a-plate tuners, and oversized fretboard inlays combine to create a nostalgic personality suited for any barnburner or jamboree.
Adaptable to all situations, from bluesy porch pickin' to speakeasy swingin', the Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert is a road companion for beginners and veterans alike.
