The Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Dreadnought captures the spirit of the classic “Rex” mail-order guitars from the 1930s to ’50s—reviving their vintage charm with modern craftsmanship, outstanding playability, and full-bodied tone that punches well above its size.
Designed with a specially contoured slope-shoulder dreadnought body and a 24.75" scale length, this guitar offers a more compact, comfortable feel while still delivering the bold projection, resonant bass, and volume dreadnoughts are known for.
Crafted with lightweight laminate tonewoods and reinforced with X-bracing, the Jim Dandy Dreadnought strikes a perfect balance between rich, woody tone and everyday durability. The comfortable “C”-shaped neck invites long sessions of laid-back strumming or fingerpicking.
Vintage-inspired details—like the pinned bridge, “G” graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, open-gear tuners, and oversized dot inlays—bring an authentic retro look that’s right at home on any porch, stage, or jam session.
From foot-stomping folk to front-porch blues, the Jim Dandy Dreadnought is a trusty musical companion with a throwback soul and a voice that commands attention.
