Description

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 to boot.
Featuring a petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24″ scale length, the Jim Dandy Parlor punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which parlor guitars are so beloved.
