Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor Acoustic Guitar - Vintage White
An 18-fret Acoustic with Historic Gretsch Attitude.
Inspired by Gretsch’s midcentury “Rex” line of instruments, the Jim Dandy Parlor acoustic guitar is a stunningly authentic reproduction of the classic mail-order model, featuring a period-correct body shape and vintage-style hardware that guitarists agree preserves the charm and spirit of Gretsch’s early flat-top guitars. The secret to re-creating their iconic tone lies in laminated tonewoods, including sapele, walnut, and nato, which deliver the warmth and sonic punch expected of Gretsch’s revered backyard strummers. Additionally, retro features, including all-nickel hardware and open-gear tuning machines, create an unmistakable appearance while ensuring solid performance reminiscent of the instrument’s original fixtures. From back-porch pickin’ to the mainstage riffin’, the Jim Dandy Parlor empowers you to take on any musical scenario with antique-infused confidence.
Sturdy laminate construction and X-bracing
With its petite parlor body shape and laminate sapele top, back, and sides, the Jim Dandy Parlor delivers true acoustic tone and clarity without weighing you down. Inside the soundhole, carefully designed X-bracing crafted from lightweight laminate tonewoods adds extra durability to your instrument while keeping vibrations stable and resonant. What’s more, the guitar’s smooth, limited-edition Vintage White finish lends an antique charm, so you look as good as you sound when playing. Whether you plan to play onstage, in the studio, or by the back door, the Jim Dandy Parlor embodies an iconic, historic appearance in any musician's hands.
Traditional nato neck
The Jim Dandy Parlor’s smooth nato neck combines a dovetail neck joint with a C-shaped profile for maximum maneuverability and comfort, and features a semi-gloss finish for lightning-fast movement along its walnut fingerboard. The guitar’s 24-inch scale length and 18 frets are complemented by white fretboard side markers and pearloid dot inlays, which keep your fingering accurate during jam sessions while maintaining a recognizable, authentic appearance.
Vintage appointments supply a classic porch-pickin’ feel
Like its iconic shape and tonewood design, the Jim Dandy Parlor’s hardware and fixtures pay homage to its long-admired instrumental ancestor. Its vintage-style pinned walnut bridge with a compensated saddle pairs with a synthetic bone nut to ensure reliable string positioning and effective vibration transfer. Likewise, all-nickel hardware and open-gear die-cast tuning machines provide solid intonation support and an authentic vintage look. Topped with a smooth, semi-gloss finish, painted pinstripe purfling, and an iconic G-graphic pickguard, the Jim Dandy Parlor delivers advanced handling and a look and feel that come as close as possible to the original model.
