Gretsch Guitars G9520 Jim Dandy Flat Top Acoustic Guitar Black

I wanted a parlor sized couch guitar. I wasn't looking for a high end instrument but I was certainly looking for something playable that sounded decent. This guitar not only fit the bill, it exceeds it significantly. Fit and finish are flawless. The action is comfortably low right out of the box and the neck needed no adjustment. I do get a little buzzing and need to give a little TLC to the third fret, but the ends are smooth and are otherwise every bit as good as any of my guitars. With worn in new strings and moderate use so far it's stayed right in tune. On top of all that it sounds great and projects surprisingly well for such a small guitar. Don't tell Gretch, but I would have paid well more than double what I did and still expected to have had to do some work to get it right. Planning on adding a Deltolux pickup at some point soon. Full disclosure, I would have bought the Deltolux version if it had been in the store. But after finding and playing this version, I decided the mini project to add it would be right way to go.

I am happy with my guitar. New journey to learning new beats

What a great sound and plays wonderfully. A great smaller and less expensive option. Will definitely be getting lots of use.

Great little guitar.

This Gretsch parlor guitar is perfect for sitting around the house and strumming, and I've also used it at small coffee house gigs with no amplification. It has a surprisingly rich and deep tone for its size and is a great addition to any guitar collection!! Buy it!! For the money it can't be beat!!

As expected, the action need attention but overall it is well built. I removed about 1/32 inch from both the nut and saddle; it now plays nicely. I was amazed that it was in tune upon arrival and holds tune quite well. Given how hard it is To find an affordable short scale instrument, this is a great buy.
