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.
