This characterful flat top guitar is a great parlour guitar at a great price. The Gretsch Jim Dandy flattop embodies folk roots with its compact body and carefully-selected woods to give a sound that is a fun and a unique addition to any guitarist's sound palette.
Here's what Gretsch say about the Jim Dandy Flat Top Guitar
Crackerjack quality at a sober price! Faithful to the Gretsch "Rex" parlor guitars of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, the all-new G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top parlor-style model embodies everything that was great about everyone's first guitar. Everything and then some, that is, because the G9500 is crafted with select guitar woods and is fully lined and braced for warm and pleasing tone, with a 24" scale for endless hours of playing comfort.
