With the Gretsch JD Parlor MAH WPG FRSTN, the manufacturer presents a Parlor acoustic guitar that is perfect for a successful introduction to guitar playing or as a practical second instrument for professionals. Inspired by the legendary models from the 30s, 40s and 50s, the Jim Dandy embodies a unique vintage charm that is reminiscent of traditional guitar music and will delight nostalgics. For a great sound experience, the beginner's guitar is made of laminated Sapele, which produces a powerful acoustic sound, while an ergonomic neck profile and the easy-grip design guarantee maximum playability. An excellent companion for your first steps on the guitar.

The laminated Sapele top, back and sides produce a bright sound with clear warmth in the mids and basses, while the classic Parlor construction supports the radiant, rich overtone sound. The result is a perfectly balanced sound which clearly articulates each note, making it ideal for fingerpicking and for complex chords. These sound characteristics make the guitar suitable for a wide range of musical styles, including country and folk. This is why music legends such as Joan Baez, for example, prefer to use a Parlor guitar, which brings out the best in their gentle and delicate runs.

In addition to its compact design, which sits comfortably in the hand, the shortened scale length of 610 mm also ensures absolutely comfortable playability. The short scale length creates less string tension, meaning less force is required when picking. This is advantageous, especially for inexperienced fingers, as chords and tone sequences are much easier to play. Another advantage is the ergonomic C-profile of the Nato neck which allows a comfortable hand position at any point. The walnut fingerboard contributes to the effortless gliding of the fretting hand over all frets thanks to its pleasant feel. Pure playing pleasure is further guaranteed by the nickel-plated die-cast open-gear tuners, ensuring a high level of tuning stability, while the compensated bridge inlay produces a flat string action and clean intonation.

The Gretsch JD Parlor MAH WPG FRSTN offers ambitious and style-conscious beginners a master-class design providing great sound and overwhelming playability. The top, back and sides are finished in the traditional natural semi-gloss finish, which tastefully highlights the fine grain of the tonewoods. Together with the aged white pickguard with "G" graphic, aged white bindings, and a decorative rosette with black and white rings, the manufacturer has indeed paid attention to the details in the art of guitar making.
