Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Black WN, Frontier Stain

The Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy, seen here with a sleek Frontier Stain finish, is a parlor-style acoustic guitar that pays fitting homage to the original Gretsch “Rex” of the mid-20th Century.

Boasting a 24″ scale length, 12th fret neck join and “C”-shaped nato neck that hosts a comfortable, smooth-playing walnut fingerboard with vintage-style frets and pearloid dot inlays, this fun little Parlor guitar is fully lined and braced for warm and pleasing tone.
