Description
This is the super fun "Jim Dandy" model G9500 flat top acoustic guitar from Gretsch. The Jim Dandy is a great, inexpensive little parlor guitar that sounds surprisingly good considering its modest price. It has a pleasantly lo-fi sound that recalls the simple entry level flat top's of the 1940's. The sound is woody any punchy and works well with fingerstyle and blues playing. The playability far exceeds its vintage counterparts. The "Steel Reinforced Neck" is really just a nod to the old "stencil" guitars that did not have adjustable truss rods, the Jim dandy does indeed have an adjustable truss rod. This little guitar plays really well and has some great mid-century style to boot. This is a brand new instrument that comes with the Gretsch limited lifetime warranty and all documentation.
