Gretsch introduces a new Roots Series parlor guitar. It is Jim Dandy`s signature model and it ranks in the intermediate class of the market.
Tradition and style, along with supreme quality of build and tone have always been hallmarks of Gretsch company. Their logo was, and still is, a guarantee of the top class quality, regardless of the type and series of instrument. Though primarily a brand of exclusive guitars, basses and drum kits, Gretsch has diversified the catalog to embrace a far wider scope of musicians. Thus, the instruments of the intermediate and lower intermediate class have found their way into the catalog. Nevertheless, these same intermediate and lower intermediate models get the same amount of care and attention, as their more expensive siblings. Instead of sparing on quality, Gretsch spares on material and tonewood selection, as the lower-priced tonewoods are being used. For example, the brand new G9520-BRB Jim Dandy Flat-Top parlor features non-expensive tonewoods, while still managing to sound like a custom shop class guitar. Also, it looks and plays amazing. Let`s head over to the review section of the article, where we`ll take a closer look onto and into this fabulous little parlor.
Gretsch G9520-BRB Jim Dandy Flat-Top is Jim Dandy`s signature parlor guitar. It comes with a very comfortable-sized parlor body with non-cutaway design and classic construction. It`s eye-catching Bronze Burst color scheme fits perfectly with the overall vintage theme of this 24”-scaled six-stringer. Back, sides and top are made of high quality agathis, while the neck is made of nato. Both of these are mahogany substitutes and one can hardly tell the difference in tone on G9520. This fully acoustic parlor also features an 18-fret rosewood fingerboard with big pearloid dot inlays and a set of open-geared tuners.
