Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought 'Frontier Stain' Acoustic Guitar

Experience the timeless allure and outstanding tone of the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought Frontier Stain Acoustic Guitar, a true masterpiece inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments featured in mail-order catalogs of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. The Jim Dandy™ models encapsulate the spirit of early Gretsch® flat-top guitars, offering unparalleled playability and exceptional tone.

With its specially-designed slope shoulder body shape and a modest 24.75“ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Dreadnought boasts a refreshingly comfortable and compact design without compromising the volume, projection, and bass response that make dreadnought guitars legendary.

The X-braced body is meticulously crafted from carefully selected lightweight laminate tonewoods, achieving an ideal balance of vintage warmth and long-lasting durability. The inviting "C"-shape neck guarantees hours of comfortable play. Authentic vintage elements like the vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays contribute to its nostalgic character, making it the perfect companion for any musical gathering, from lively barnburners to heartwarming jamborees.

Whether you're strumming blues on the porch or indulging in speakeasy swing sessions, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought in Frontier Stain is your trusty partner, catering to both novice and seasoned musicians.
