GRETSCH / Jim Dandy Dreadnought Frontier Stain

Inspired by the historic Gretsch "Rex" acoustic guitars sold in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, the Jim Dandy models capture the charm and spirit of Gretsch's early flattops with superior playability and class-leading tone.

With a specially designed sloped shoulder body and 24.75-inch scale, the Jim Dandy Dreadnought is a comfortable, compact design without sacrificing the volume and low-end response that are characteristic of dreadnought guitars.

The X-braced body is made of carefully selected lightweight laminates to achieve the optimal balance of woody vintage tone and durability. Details faithful to the specifications of the time, such as the vintage-style pin bridge, pickguard with "G" graphics, painted pinstripe purfling, "3-on-a-plate" open gear tuning machines, and oversized dot inlays, exude nostalgic individuality.

The Jim Dandy Dreadnought is a guitar that can be used in any situation, such as at home or in a cafe.
