Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlour, Rex Burst

Full Description

Superior playability

The Gretsch Parlour Acoustic takes inspiration from the iconic "Rex" line of instruments from the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. With the Jim Dandy models, Gretsch has captured the essence of those early flat-top guitars, combining their charm and spirit with modern playability and exceptional tone.

Comfortable and compact design

Featuring a comfortable and compact parlour body shape, the Jim Dandy Parlour offers clarity and a pronounced midrange that was heard on so many old blues recordings. With a modest scale length of 24.75", it offers a comfortable feel that makes it suitable for various musical settings.

Classic tone and durability

Crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods and X-braced body construction, this guitar offers a perfect balance of vintage tonal character and reliable durability. The result is a warm and woody tone that is both reminiscent of the past and suitable for contemporary musical styles.

Inviting feel and nostalgic details

The "C"-shape neck of the Gretsch Parlour provides a comfortable and inviting playing experience, allowing you to draw inspiration for countless hours of old-timey music. The vintage-style pinned bridge, "G"-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays contribute to its nostalgic personality, reminiscent of the golden era of acoustic guitars.
