Inspired by the historic ‘Rex’ line of instruments offered by mail-order catalog in the 1930s, ‘40s and ’50s, Jim Dandy models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars with superior playability and best-in-class-tone to boot. Featuring a petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24-inch scale length, the Grestch Jim Dandy Parlor 6-String Guitar punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which parlor guitars are so beloved.
Construction
The X-braced body of this 6-string acoustic guitar is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods for an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the ‘C’-shape neck presents an inviting feel for hours of old-timey inspiration. Period-correct details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, ‘G’-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines and oversized dot fingerboard inlays combine for a nostalgic personality destined for any barnburner or jamboree. Well suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin’ to speakeasy swingin’, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.

Perfect size for what I really need

The guitar is beautiful and sounds surprisingly good for a smaller, plywood instrument. The action was good right out of the box with no neck warping or fret buzzing. The dull finish allows your hand to easily slide along the neck. The sound is fairly good except for being light on bass, as expected. The guitar was made in Indonesia and the workmanship seems to be good quality. It stays in tune pretty well.To me, this guitar excels as a couch guitar and the couch is where I leave mine so that I can easily access it numerous times during the day.
