Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy, Frontier Stain Overview
The Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy is bursting with classic parlour tones. Faithful to the classic Grestch guitars of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, the G9500 gives you vintage vibes and crystalline tones at an accessible price point. Crafted with select tonewoods to create warm, satisfying sonics, you'll find any playing style rewarding on the G9500. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming some chords, there's a wealth of sound to enjoy, and that's all projected far and wide by an X-braced soundboard.
Its voice is developed, balanced and sonorous. It gets better still! A comfortable 24" scale length makes it hard to put down, as performing complex chords and melodies becomes so much easier. Matched with a "C" shape neck that slots straight into your palm, you'll be playing for hours at a time without breaking a sweat. Finished off with quality touches like the "G" emblazoned pickguard and a set of vintage, open-geared tuners, this is something that will have you looking great, and sounding even better.

It's a sapele cocktail. Featuring a body entirely made from sapele wood, you can expect a plethora of warm tones. It's the perfect match for the parlour size as it exudes defined, lower-mids with excellent sustain and detail. Not only that, but its top-end is pronounced and glistening, serving to accentuate your notes. Altogether, this series of sounds suits the parlour perfectly, as they're renowned for defined, strong mids that sit above mixes.
Excellent playability
Get comfortable. Easy playing guitars really bring out your best, and the Jim Dandy is a superb example of that. A shorter 24" scale length pushes the frets closer together - making difficult chords easier and quick riffs a breeze. Backing that up is a "C" shaped neck that is heavenly to hold - reducing the cramp and fatigue you can suffer during long playing sessions.
It's also just so smooth. A black walnut fretboard provides the sleek fretting surface that every musician craves. You'll love its responsive, no-friction feel that makes licks flow and chord progressions fluid. Set with pearloid position inlays, it's easy to navigate the 19 vintage-style frets.
Old school class
A timeless classic. The G9500 Jim Dandy superbly evokes guitars from the past with its vintage appointments. And while they certainly revive the vibe of guitars-gone-by, they'll also grant you an exceptional playing experience. Starting with the top-load walnut bridge with compensated saddle and synthetic bone nut combo, you'll get nothing but pure, clean string vibrations for excellent articulation.
Then you've got the open-geared '50s style tuners that will keep your tuning tight and stable, getting you through whole sets without slips. Finally, a "G" stamped pickguard matches with vintage-style strap buttons to complete the relic aesthetic. The Jim Dandy is an accessible, classy and punchy instrument that will suit any level of player.
