Description
Part of their Roots collection, the G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top gives you a chance to own one of Gretsch’s earliest instruments. Everyone knows Gretsch electric guitars and drums, but did you know that got their start in 1883 as a banjo company? It wasn’t long before Gretsch was making mandolins, ukuleles, and eventually flat-top guitars, contributing to the very roots of American music.
Features:
An old-fashioned 12-fret guitar that conjures up the sound and spirit of the ’30s and ’40s
Comfortable parlor-sized body makes this an excellent guitar for casual strumming on the couch
Elongated bouts and 12-fret design provide incredible projection and volume
Agathis back, sides, and top provide clear resonance, rich warmth, and a mellow, lyrical sound
Part of Gretsch’s esteemed Roots Collection, reviving the classic Rex acoustic guitar
