Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert Solid Top Limited Edition – Heritage Burst

The Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert Solid Top Limited Edition Heritage Burst is a modern take on the charming “Rex” line of acoustic guitars from the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s—offering classic style, approachable playability, and a tone that inspires. Perfectly suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin’ to speakeasy swing, this guitar captures the spirit of vintage Gretsch® craftsmanship while delivering the reliability and performance that today’s players demand.

With its comfortable concert body shape, solid spruce top, and short 24.75" scale length, the Jim Dandy™ delivers balanced projection, warm mids, and articulate highs in a portable, easy-to-play package. The X-braced solid spruce top enhances clarity and definition, while laminated sapele back and sides provide warmth, resonance, and durability. Whether you’re strumming for friends, writing your next song, or adding texture in a studio session, this guitar’s tonal versatility makes it a true all-around companion.

Vintage-inspired details—such as the pinned walnut bridge, 1-ply tortoise pickguard with gold “G” graphic, painted pinstripe purfling, open-gear die-cast tuners, and oversized pearloid dot inlays—evoke the classic look and feel of mid-century Gretsch acoustics. Combined with the Heritage Burst gloss finish and aged white body binding, the result is an instrument that is as visually captivating as it is musically inspiring.
