Get serious vintage feel, tone, and portable playability with the G9500 Jim Dandy Limited Acoustic Guitar from Gretsch. This parlor acoustic harkens back to the '30s, '40s and '50's when itinerant songsters traveled widely, playing in the front rooms of barber shops, general stores, and on porches. The G9500 is made from a select, resonant basswood body supported by X-bracing. A walnut fingerboard on the 24-inch scale nato neck is smooth and playable, and ideal for fingerpicking or flatpicking. The Jim Dandy really delivers that classic parlor-style volume — big, bold, and full, making it great for recording as well. Found putting this acoustic in front of a good condenser or ribbon mic yields some beautifully balanced results!
