The Jim Dandy line is inspired by the "Rex" flat-tops Gretsch sold through mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. These guitars capture the charm of those early Gretsch acoustics, with the easy playability and great tone their name promises!
The Concert has a comfortable, compact concert body and a modest 24.75" scale, which makes it a sweet spot of versatile tone and easy playing for all kinds of music. The X-braced body is built from select lightweight laminate tonewoods, so you get woody vintage tone with reliable durability. The "C" shape neck is inviting for hours of old-timey picking.
The period details are what make it: a vintage-style pinned bridge, a "G" graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuners and oversized dot inlays. It's just as happy with bluesy porch pickin' as speakeasy swing, and it's a great companion for beginners and longtime players alike!
