Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor LTD Walnut Fingerboard Tortoise Pickguard (Vintage White)

Drawing inspiration from the legendary "Rex" mail‐order guitars of the 1930s through 1950s, the Jim Dandy™ Parlor LTD captures the nostalgic charm of early Gretsch® flat‐top acoustics whilst offering modern playability that punches well above its compact size. This petite parlor‐bodied instrument features a short 24″ scale length that makes it incredibly portable and comfortable for players of all levels, yet it produces the distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange response that parlor guitars are celebrated for worldwide.

The laminated sapele body is built with traditional X‐bracing and paired with a nato set neck that joins at the 12th fret, providing excellent resonance and sustain. A walnut fingerboard with white pearloid dot inlays spans 18 vintage‐style frets, complemented by a walnut bridge with compensated saddle for accurate intonation. The Vintage White semi‐gloss finish gives this instrument a classic aesthetic that’s enhanced by the single‐ply tortoise pickguard featuring the iconic “G” graphic.

Appointed with 1950s‐style open‐gear die‐cast tuning machines and strung with D’Addario® EJ16 Phosphor Bronze strings, the Jim Dandy™ Parlor LTD offers best‐in‐class tone and vintage‐inspired style. The synthetic bone nut measures 1.69″ (43mm) wide, sitting atop a comfortable C‐shaped neck profile with semi‐gloss finish that allows for smooth playability up and down the 12″ radius fingerboard.
