In Depth | Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top, 2-Color Sunburst Crackerjack quality for a steal! Faithful to the Gretsch® "Rex" parlor guitars of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, the G9500 Jim Dandy™ Flat Top parlor-style model embodies everything that was great about everyone's first guitar. Everything and then some that is, because the G9500 is crafted with select guitar woods and is fully lined and braced for warm and pleasing tone, with a 24" scale for endless hours of playing comfort. Perfect for both picked and fingerstyle playing, the Jim Dandy features a non-cutaway basswood body with X-bracing for a powerful and resonant voice, and a top-load walnut bridge with compensated synthetic bone saddle for even intonation along the length of the neck. Joining the body at the 12th fret, the “C”-shape nato neck hosts a comfortable, smooth-playing walnut fingerboard with vintage-style frets and pearloid dot inlays. Wrapped in a classic Two-Tone Sunburst finish, the G9500 also has 1950s-style vintage open-gear die-cast tuning machines, nickel hardware and single-ply white pickguard featuring a “G” graphic. Ideal for songwriting, practice or even as a travel guitar, this little wonder is great for beginners or seasoned pros alike. Comfortable to play, and full of woody vintage tone with full-sounding bass, the Jim Dandy will inspire hours of playing joy. - Basswood body with X-bracing - 12th fret, 24”-scale nato neck - Walnut fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays - Walnut top-load bridge with compensated saddle - Single-ply white pickguard with “G” graphic - 1950s-style vintage open-gear die-cast tuning machines and vintage end-pin strap buttons - Nickel hardware - Available in Two-Tone Sunburst Specs: Body Basswood Body Back Basswood Body Binding Aged White Body Finish Vintage Semi-Gloss Body Shape Roots Guitar Body Sides Basswood Body Top Basswood Bracing X-Bracing Bridge Walnut Top-Load with Compensated Saddle Bridge Cover/Tailpiece Traditional Acoustic Bridge Color 2-Color Sunburst Commodity Code 9202903000 Controls NA Country Of Origin ID Fingerboard Walnut Fingerboard Radius 12" (305 mm) Fret Size Vintage Style Hardware Finish Nickel-Plated Headstock 1950's Gretsch® 3x3 Lower Bout 13.125" (333 mm) Model # 2704000503 Model NameG9500 Jim Dandy™ 24" Scale Flat Top Guitar, 2-Color Sunburst Neck Construction Set-Neck Neck Finish Semi-Gloss Neck Material Nato Neck Shape "C" Shape Number of Frets1 8 (12 to Body) Nut Material Synthetic Bone Nut Width 1.6875" (42.86 mm) Orientation Right-Hand Pickguard 1-Ply White with "G" Graphic Position Inlays White Pearloid Dot Refinement Neck Material Nato Rosette White/Black Rings Scale Length 24" (610 mm) Series Roots Collection String Nut Synthetic Bone Strings D'Addario® EJ16 Phosphor Bronze, Light (.012-.053 Gauges) Truss Rod Wrench Yes Truss Rods Dual-Action Tuning Machines Open-Gear Die-Cast |
