Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments available through mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s, the Jim Dandy™ models capture the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars, offering superior playability and outstanding tone.

The Jim Dandy™ Parlor, with its compact and portable parlor body shape and short 24" scale length, delivers a tonal clarity and robust midrange that parlor guitars are renowned for.

Crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods and featuring X-bracing, this guitar achieves the perfect balance of vintage woody tone and enduring reliability. The “C”-shaped neck provides a comfortable playing experience, ideal for extended periods of musical creativity. 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, lend this instrument a distinctively nostalgic charm suited for any musical gathering.

Perfect for a wide range of musical styles, from bluesy porch picking to lively speakeasy swinging, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor is a versatile instrument for both beginners and experienced players.
