General
It's no wonder that the Gretsch G9500 is a success. It's a lovely, attractively priced parlour-style guitar with a vintage sound. The Gretsch Jim Dandy models hark back to the time in America before the second World War. Days were often long and hard during this period and while some reached for the bottle to console themselves at the end of the day, others reached for their guitars. Often, these were Gretsch's Rex models, parlour guitars with a characteristic sound perfect for the style that came to be known as the Delta Blues. The G9500 is a homage to the legendary Rex models.
Construction
The original Rex models from Gretsch had a body made of pine. Whilst this type of wood produced a distinct sound, it did not stand up well to the ravages of time. For this reason, Gretsch has chosen agathis for the G9500. It's a wood type that sounds similar to pine but is far more robust. Thanks to its parlour-style shape, the G9500 is easy to handle. Some parlour models can sound a little too sharp, but the agathis used for the Jim Dandy's simply produces a warm sound that is nice and bright. The neck on this model is made of nato with a rosewood fretboard.
Jim Dandy Barn Wood Burst finish
The Gretsch Jim Dandy G9500 is available in range of different finishes. The rustic Barn Wood Burst finish on this model complements its vintage look and sound perfectly. The name refers to its grey colour, which is similar to the one often used on barn doors in America before the war. Originally, the colour was darker but it often faded due to the effects of the weather. As well as this striking finish, the Jim Dandy has some other notable features. It features the classic Gretsch logo on the headstock, the characteristic G on the pickguard, and a top loader bridge.
