The Story
Capture the essence of Gretsch's historic "Rex" line with the Gretsch Jim Dandy Signature Concert Acoustic Guitar in Rex Burst finish. Inspired by the charm of early Gretsch flat-top guitars from the '30s, '40s, and '50s, this model combines vintage spirit with modern playability and tone.
With a comfortable and compact concert body shape and a manageable 24.75" scale length, the Jim Dandy Concert offers versatility and accessible playability for a wide range of musical styles. Its X-braced body is crafted from select lightweight laminate tonewoods, providing a balanced mix of vintage warmth and robust durability. The "C"-shape neck is welcoming and perfect for hours of musical inspiration.
Enjoy period-correct features 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 that contribute to its nostalgic character, perfect for bluesy porch pickin' or speakeasy swingin'. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned musician, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert is your trusty companion.
