Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor Acoustic Guitar - Rex Burst Reviews
With its period-correct body shape and traditional hardware placement, Sweetwater guitarists agree that the Jim Dandy acoustic guitar is a stunningly authentic replication of Gretsch's classic mail-order model. The secret to matching this iconic tone is laminated tonewoods, which provide the warmth and sonic punch that's expected of the company's revered backyard strummers. Additional vintage features including all-nickel hardware and open-gear tuning machines further supply an unmistakable appearance, while ensuring solid performance reminiscent of the instrument's original fixtures. Porch pickin', travel jamming, you name it — Gretsch's classic "Rex" has been through it all. Rest assured, adding a Jim Dandy to your instrumental arsenal is a one-way ticket to take on any musical scenario with antique-infused confidence.

Amazing ! and same price as 1936 !
Lucky enough to grab one of the first in sunburst finish - Amazing tone and playability for a " plywood" guitar, action was very good out of the box. All the details, frets, etc perfect. Exactly what I wanted for backyard gatherings or temperatures not friendly for my Taylor or Martin.
Check out the review on " Got A Ukulele " - a very critical British instrument reviewer - loved it.
Looked up a 1936 Gretsch catalog and it turns out the model 10 Rex cost $ - about same as $ in 2024 US$
