Gretsch® Guitars - Jim Dandy™ Parlor
Gretsch® Guitars - Jim Dandy™ Parlor
- Basswood body with X-bracing
- 12th-fret, 24″-scale nato set neck
- Vintage-style 18 frets
- Synthetic bone nut
- Walnut fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays
- String-through walnut bridge with compensated saddle

Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments sold via mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, Jim Dandy™ models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars—now upgraded with superior playability and best-in-class tone.
Boasting a petite, portable parlor body and a short 24″ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Parlor punches above its weight with the distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange that make parlor guitars so beloved.
An X-braced body built from select lightweight laminate tonewoods strikes the perfect balance between woody vintage resonance and modern durability, while the comfortable “C”-shape neck invites hours of old-timey inspiration.
Period-correct appointments—vintage-style pinned bridge, distinctive “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuners and oversized dot inlays—deliver an authentic retro vibe destined for any barn-burner or jamboree.
Equally at home with bluesy porch pickin’ or speakeasy swingin’, the Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Parlor is the perfect ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.
