With a specially-designed slope shoulder body shape and a 24.75" scale length, the Jim Dandy Dreadnought provides a comfortable and compact form without compromising the volume, projection, and bass response that dreadnought guitars are known for.

The "C"-shape Nato neck ensures an inviting feel, making it a pleasure for extended playing sessions filled with old-timey inspiration. The Walnut fingerboard, synthetic bone nut, and compensated saddle contribute to the guitar's exceptional playability. Vintage-style features like a pinned bridge, "G"-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays add a touch of nostalgia, making it perfect for barnburners or jamborees.
Whether you're into bluesy porch pickin' or speakeasy swingin', the Gretsch Jim Dandy Dreadnought is a versatile companion for musicians of all levels, combining a timeless design with modern playability.
