Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments offered in mail-order catalogs during the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s, the Jim Dandy™ models capture the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars, boasting superior playability and top-notch tone.
These models feature a uniquely designed slope-shoulder body shape and a comfortable 24.75" scale length, offering a compact yet comfortable form that doesn’t compromise on the volume, projection, and bass response dreadnought guitars are celebrated for.
Constructed with select lightweight laminate tonewoods, the X-braced body achieves an ideal mix of vintage woody tone and lasting durability. The “C”-shaped neck provides a welcoming playability, inviting hours of music-making inspired by bygone eras. Authentic period 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, imbue the guitar with a distinctive, nostalgic charm, perfect for any musical gathering.
Ideal for a range of styles from bluesy porch picking to lively speakeasy swing, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought is a versatile companion for both newcomers and seasoned players.
