This guitar features a specially-designed slope shoulder body shape and a modest 24.75 scale length and offers a refreshingly comfortable and compact form factor without sacrificing the volume, projection and bass response for which dreadnought guitars are so revered.
Inspired by the historic Rex line of instruments offered by mail-order catalog in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, this Gretsch Roots Collection Jim Dandy Dreadnought Rex Burst Acoustic Guitar embodies the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars with superior playability and best-in-class-tone to boot)
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-timey 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.
Well suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin to speakeasy swingin, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought is a ramblin companion for newbies and old-timers alike.
