The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor brings vintage soul and small-body charm into the modern era. Inspired by the original “Rex” guitars from the mail-order days of the 1930s to ‘50s, this compact parlor guitar is perfect for roots, blues, and folk players who love that dry, boxy tone and midrange growl. With its short 24" scale and X-braced laminate body, it’s comfortable to play and surprisingly resonant.
Ideal for fingerpickers and songwriters, the Jim Dandy Parlor features a select laminate construction, a comfy "C"-shaped neck, and a walnut fingerboard. Vintage-style details like pinstripe purfling, a G-branded pickguard, and open-gear tuners give it unmistakable Gretsch style. Whether you’re playing front porch blues or backroom swing, this little box delivers.
