Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Deep Cherry Burst, Walnut Fingerboard

Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of mail-order instruments from the 1930s through the ’50s, the Gretsch® Jim Dandy™ Dreadnought delivers the vintage charm of those early flat-tops with modern reliability and playability.

This slope-shoulder dreadnought pairs a compact 24.75" scale length with the big voice, volume, and projection that dreadnoughts are known for. Its laminated sapele body with X-bracing delivers a warm, woody tone, while the slim “C”-shape nato neck and walnut fingerboard make it comfortable for beginners and seasoned players alike.

Classic Gretsch details — including a “G” graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, open-gear tuners, and oversized dot inlays — give the Jim Dandy Dreadnought its nostalgic personality. From porch pickin’ to speakeasy swing, this guitar is a trusty ramblin’ companion.
