Gretsch Guitars Parlor Signature Jim Dandy Wn Frontier Stain

Description

JIM DANDY PARLOR

Inspired by the historic "Rex" line 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 the best tone in their class to boot. Featuring a small, portable parlor body shape and a short 24-inch scale length, the Jim Dandy Parlor punches above its weight with distinct tonal clarity and the guttural mids for which parlor guitars are so beloved. The X-braced body is crafted from lightweight laminated tonewoods selected for an optimal balance between vintage woody tone and reliable durability, while the "C"-shaped neck offers a welcoming 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 Parlor is a road companion for newcomers and veterans alike.
