Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top Guitar 2-Color Sunburst - Nearly New Overview
The Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top Acoustic is a bright voiced parlour style guitar. Offering a bold resonance, comfortable playability, and a vintage inspired aesthetic, the G9500 will fuel your creativity. And that's because it's just so easy to pick up and play! The smaller size, coupled with a shorter 24" scale length, makes it an approachable instrument for any size - or level - of player.
And it's a good thing that it's so inviting to play, because the resonant, bright tones it emits are simply sublime. Featuring a basswood body and an X-braced top, it has plenty of volume and projection, while the parlour body shape imbues a tight, crisp quality to the voice. Influenced by classic Gretsch guitars of the '30s and '40s, it's ideal for musicians seeking a vintage vibe. If you're just starting your guitar journey, or looking for a shot of classic inspiration, the G9500 will deliver.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionVintage-inspired parlour style
Turn back time. The G9500 showcases a classic Gretsch body style that captures the voice of those period instruments. But with its modern improvements, you'll still enjoy astounding levels of projection and a bright tonality .
And because it's smaller than the average acoustic guitar body, the parlour shape lends itself to travelling musicians, or for those wanting a guitar that can sit in the front room or studio, ready for when inspiration strikes. The Jim Dandy is as versatile as they come, suiting different playstyles, so whether you use a pick or your fingers, it will be able to accommodate your preferred method with unrivalled comfort.
Perfectly balanced
Boasting a lightweight feel and a balanced midrange tonality, the G9500's basswood construction is a shining example of this characterful wood. Resonant enough to cut through any mix thanks to its X-shaped bracing, you'll enjoy an impressive projection despite its smaller size.
In addition to its ample volume, the G9500 provides a precise, reliable playing experience. A top-load walnut bridge and synthetic bone saddle ensure your strings ring out clearly with a ringing sustain. Add to that the effortless action you'll find in the smooth walnut fingerboard and slim "C" shaped neck, and you've found your new song writing companion. It'll be hard to put this down!
A Gretsch from the golden years…
Reach into the past. The Jim Dandy takes great inspiration from the guitars of the golden years, particularly, the "Rex" parlour styles of the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Embodying the aesthetic and character of these era-defining instruments, the G9500 hosts a number period accurate appointments.
Nickel-plated hardware with open-gear die-cast tuning machines offers a reliable tuning hold, and a single-ply white pickguard with the classic ”G” graphic cements the vintage identity. Topped off by the two-tone sunburst finish, it couldn't look more authentic, and it certainly couldn't sound any better!
