Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert - Deep Cherry Burst

Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert Inspired by the historic Rex line of instruments offered by mail order catalog in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Jim Dandy models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat top guitars with the superior playability and best in class tone that their namesake suggests. Featuring a comfortable and compact concert body shape and a modest 24.75 inch scale length, the Jim Dandy Concert strikes the perfect sweet spot of versatile tone and approachable playability for a wide variety of musical settings. The X braced body is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods for an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the C shape neck presents an inviting feel for hours of old time inspiration. Period correct details 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 combine for a nostalgic personality destined for any barnburner or jamboree.
