Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor LTD, Walnut Fingerboard, Tortoise Pickguard, Vintage White

The Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor LTD (Model 2711032505) is a limited edition parlor-sized acoustic guitar finished in Vintage White with a tortoise pickguard and walnut fingerboard. Drawing inspiration from the historic "Rex" catalogue instruments of the 1930s through 1950s, this guitar suits beginners, travel players, and seasoned players seeking a compact, characterful instrument for porch playing, folk, blues, and old-time styles. Its short 24" scale length and petite parlor body make it comfortable to play for extended periods.

The Jim Dandy Parlor LTD is built with a laminated sapele body — top, back, and sides — braced with an X-brace pattern for tonal clarity and durability. The nato neck is set into the body and finished in semi-gloss, shaped to a comfortable "C" profile with a walnut fingerboard, 18 frets, and white pearloid dot inlays. Period-correct appointments include a vintage-style pinned walnut bridge with compensated saddle, a tortoise pickguard with "G" graphic, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear die-cast tuning machines, and 1-ply black body binding. Hardware is finished in nickel.

The semi-gloss body and neck finish gives the instrument a vintage aesthetic consistent with its retro inspiration while the 12" fingerboard radius and 1.69" nut width provide a familiar playing feel suited to both fingerstyle and strumming approaches.
