Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor Rex Burst Starter Set

Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor Western Guitar in Rex Burst!

Inspired by the historic "Rex" line offered via mail order catalogs in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, the Jim Dandy models embody the charm and spirit of these early Gretsch flat-top guitars with the outstanding playability and premium tone their namesake suggests.

With its petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24-inch scale length, the Jim Dandy Parlor impresses with pronounced tonal clarity and a throaty midrange that makes parlor guitars so beloved.

The X-braced body is crafted from selected, lightweight laminated tonewoods, offering an optimal balance between woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the "C"-shaped neck provides an inviting playing feel for hours of inspiration. Contemporary details like a pinned vintage-style bridge, a "G" graphic pickguard, painted binding stripes, 3 On A Plate open tuners, and oversized dot fretboard inlays create a nostalgic character perfect for any barbecue or music festival.

The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor suits everything from bluesy pick playing to fiery swing and is an ideal companion for beginners and seasoned players alike.
