Description
The G9500 Jim Dandy revives the spirit of Gretsch’s “Rex” parlor guitars from decades past, shrinking things down to a friendly 24″ scale without skimping on tone or build quality. It’s the kind of guitar that feels like it’s been your companion for years the moment you pick it up.
- Basswood body with X-bracing for a lively, resonant voice
- 24″-scale nato neck joining the body at the 12th fret, carved into a comfortable “C” profile
- Walnut fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays and vintage-style frets (18 total)
- Top-load walnut bridge with a compensated synthetic bone saddle for solid intonation up and down the neck
- Synthetic bone nut
- Single-ply aged white pickguard bearing the signature “G” graphic
- 1950s-style open-gear die-cast tuners paired with nickel hardware and vintage-style end-pin strap buttons
Under the hood, it’s a fully lined and braced flat-top built from select tonewoods, so despite its compact size, the Jim Dandy pushes out surprisingly full-sounding bass and warm, woody character whether you’re strumming with a pick or working through fingerstyle patterns. The shorter scale keeps the strings easy on the fingers, making it a natural fit for beginners still building strength, while its size and personality make it a favorite backup or travel guitar for players who already have a main axe.
Finished in a classic 2-Color Sunburst, the G9500 delivers old-school looks and genuine vintage tone at a price that makes it easy to just grab and play — for songwriting, practicing, or tossing in the car for a weekend trip.
