Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Concert - Rex Burst

Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments offered by mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ’50s, Jim Dandy™ models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars with the superior playability and best-in-class tone that their namesake suggests.

Comfortable and Versatile Design

Featuring a comfortable and compact concert body shape and a modest 24.75” scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Concert strikes the perfect sweet spot of versatile tone and approachable playability for a wide variety of musical settings.

• The X-braced body, crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods, offers an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability.
• The “C”-shape neck provides an inviting feel, perfect for hours of old-timey inspiration.
