Description

The Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Parlor guitar captures the vintage soul of the original “Rex” line from the ‘30s to ‘50s, reimagined for today’s players with upgraded tone and playability. Designed to channel the charm of classic mail-order guitars, this compact flat-top offers retro appeal with modern reliability.

Its petite parlor body and short 24" scale length deliver remarkable tonal punch and midrange warmth, making it ideal for fingerpicking, blues, and vintage Americana styles. The X-braced construction and lightweight laminated tonewoods strike the perfect balance of vintage resonance and road-ready durability.

A comfortable “C”-shaped neck makes long playing sessions effortless, while authentic period-style touches—including a vintage pinned bridge, “G” graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuners, and oversized dot inlays—bring old-school personality to every detail.

Whether you're pickin' on the porch or jamming at a backyard hoedown, the Jim Dandy Parlor is your faithful sidekick—full of character, charm, and ready for the road.
