The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor Solid Top is a compact acoustic with vintage charm and modern reliability. Modeled after Gretsch mail order guitars of the 1930s, this limited-edition parlor features a solid spruce top paired with sapele back and sides for a clear, balanced voice. Its short 24″ scale makes it comfortable to play, while the C-shaped nato neck and walnut fingerboard provide smooth feel across 18 frets.
The Heritage Burst finish stands out on stage. Vintage-inspired details like aged white binding, open-gear tuners and the signature tortoise “G” pickguard complete the look. The Jim Dandy combines a warm, resonant tone with throwback style in a highly playable, travel-friendly package.

Parlor body and 24″ scale length make it lightweight, compact, and easy to play

Please note: this instrument is stamped "used" on the back of the headstock and was given a new serial number by a manufacturer-authorized refurbisher. It may have at one time been deemed to have a cosmetic imperfection or to need a repair. It has now been expertly repaired, plays like new and shows little to no wear.
