Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments offered by mail-order catalog in the 1930s, ‘40s and ’50s, Jim Dandy models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars with superior playability and best-in-class-tone.

Featuring a petite and portable parlour body shape and a short 24“ scale length, the Jim Dandy Parlor has a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which parlour guitars are so beloved.

The X-braced body is made with select lightweight laminate tonewoods for a perfect balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the “C”-shape neck offers an inviting feel for hours of inspiration. Period-correct details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines and oversized dot fingerboard inlays combine for that nostalgic personality.
