Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert at a glance
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert is an acoustic guitar that stands out with its nostalgic vintage-style design and powerful sound. Its laminated construction not only increases resistance to temperature changes and humidity but also ensures robust sound projection. The characteristic Concert shape produces a rich overtone spectrum, making it particularly popular with folk musicians. Thanks to its shorter scale length, the guitar is especially comfortable to hold and play, a clear advantage for both beginners and experienced guitarists. Visually, the Jim Dandy impresses with a stylish Deep Cherry Burst finish in semi-gloss lacquer, giving it an elegant presence at all times.
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert presents the authentic sound of times gone by with modern playability.
Laminated sapele body
The guitar’s sound is a real treat for the ears. The top, back, and sides are made entirely from laminated sapele, a tonewood known for its warm, balanced, and slightly trebly character. The result is a brilliant tonal palette with clear mids, sparkling highs, and a pleasing depth that suits styles from folk and country to blues and singer-songwriter music. Classic X-bracing adds stability without restricting top vibration, creating a lively, responsive sound with excellent sustain.
Shortened scale length
With a 628.7 mm scale length, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Concert provides a comfortable playing experience, making chord changes and melodic lines effortless. The neck features a pleasantly shaped C-profile for a natural, fatigue-free posture during long sessions. The walnut fingerboard offers a smooth feel and precise control. Classic nickel-plated open-gear tuners and a compensated bridge inlay ensure reliable tuning and accurate intonation, keeping every note clear and true.
