Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour 'Rex Burst' Acoustic Guitar

$319.00$349.00

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour 'Rex Burst' is a modern take on the iconic "Rex" line of instruments once available through mail-order catalogues in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Its petite, portable parlour body shape and 24" scale length deliver a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange that parlour guitars are known for.

The X-braced body, crafted with select laminate tonewoods, balances vintage tone with reliable durability, while the comfortable "C"-shaped neck ensures smooth playability. Vintage-inspired details such as a pinned bridge, "G"-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling and oversized dot inlays make it ideal for blues and swing players of all skill levels.
