Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour 'Deep Cherry Burst' Acoustic Guitar

The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour 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 parlour guitar is ideal for roots, blues and folk players who love that dry, boxy tone and midrange growl, with a short 24" scale and X-braced laminated sapele body that's comfortable to play and surprisingly resonant.

A comfy "C"-shaped nato neck with a walnut fingerboard and 1.6875" nut makes it a natural fit for fingerpickers and songwriters. Vintage-style details like pinstripe purfling, a G-branded pickguard and open-gear tuners give it unmistakable Gretsch style, suited equally to front porch blues and backroom swing. Its small body and short scale also make it a comfortable first guitar for beginners. It is a budget-friendly pick, too.
