{"product_id":"jim-dandy-ltd-vintage-white-parlour","title":"Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour LTD 'Vintage White' Acoustic Guitar","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour is a lovingly conceived tribute to the historic Rex line of instruments offered through American mail-order catalogues in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s - a period when compact, affordable parlour guitars were the instrument of choice for countless players across the country, and when Gretsch's flat-top catalogue offered accessible quality to a generation of aspiring guitarists who couldn't afford or access premium instruments. The Jim Dandy captures the charm, character, and tonal spirit of those early instruments in a package that looks and feels unmistakably vintage while delivering a playability and tonal clarity that those original mail-order guitars could never match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Vintage White finish is the most visually striking of the Jim Dandy colour options - a warm, cream-hued body finish that perfectly complements the tortoise pickguard with G graphic, gold and black ring rosette, and aged white bridge pins in a coherent vintage aesthetic that is hard to resist. The sapele body with X-bracing delivers the distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange character that makes parlour guitars so beloved for fingerpicking, blues, and intimate acoustic playing, while the short 24\" scale length and C-shaped nato neck make this one of the most immediately comfortable and accessible acoustic guitars available at any size or price. Ideal for beginners, travelling musicians, collectors of vintage-inspired instruments, and anyone who has always wanted a Gretsch acoustic with genuine retro character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaminated sapele body with X-bracing delivers the distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange character that defines the parlour guitar format - immediately engaging and naturally suited to fingerpicking, blues, and intimate acoustic playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort 24\" scale length and C-shaped nato set neck with 12th-fret body join provide an exceptionally comfortable and accessible playing feel - ideal for beginners, players with smaller hands, and anyone who values easy playability above all else.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage White semi-gloss finish with tortoise pickguard and G graphic, gold and black ring rosette, aged white bridge pins, and 1950s-style vintage open-gear die-cast tuning machines create a cohesive and irresistible vintage aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalnut fingerboard and bridge with compensated saddle, synthetic bone nut, and pearloid dot inlays reflect a thoughtful specification that delivers reliable playability and intonation at an accessible price point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired by the historic Rex mail-order catalogue guitars of the 1930s-50s - a genuinely considered tribute to one of the most charming and culturally significant chapters in the history of the affordable American acoustic guitar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Parlour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody material: Laminated sapele (top, back, and sides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody binding: 1-ply black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: X-brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody finish: Semi-gloss, Vintage White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Nato, C shape, set-neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck finish: Semi-gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck join: 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Walnut, 12\" radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard inlays: White pearloid dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide dots: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 24\" (610mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 18, vintage size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Synthetic bone, 1.69\" (43mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Walnut with compensated saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge pins: Aged white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: Gold\/black rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Tortoise with G graphic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: 1950s-style vintage open-gear die-cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze Light .012-.053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Vintage White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 2711032505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48822334390493,"sku":"2711032505","price":349.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/jim.png?v=1790127563","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/jim-dandy-ltd-vintage-white-parlour","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
