The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour 'Rex Burst' Acoustic Guitar is a modern take on the iconic "Rex" line of instruments that were once available through mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. With its petite and portable parlor body shape and a 24" scale length, this guitar delivers a distinct tonal clarity and a throaty midrange that parlor guitars are known for. The X-braced body, crafted with select laminate tonewoods, provides a balance of vintage tone and reliable durability, while the comfortable "C"-shaped neck ensures smooth playability for hours of musical enjoyment.
This guitar boasts vintage-inspired details, such as a pinned bridge, "G"-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuners, and oversized dot inlays. These classic aesthetics bring a nostalgic touch to the Jim Dandy Parlour, making it a standout in both appearance and sound. Whether you're playing bluesy tunes or swing, the Jim Dandy Parlour is an excellent choice for players of all skill levels, offering an inviting and unique playing experience.
