Review: One FUN Little Guitar! - I got my first guitar from a Sears catalog back in 1966 and it was a *lot* like this parlor acoustic. It wasn't built as well and it didn't sound nearly so good, but the "feel" of the thing was very similar. When I opened this Gretsch, I was immediately reminded of that little, cheap-o Sears guitar, but in a completely good way! I was nearly crushed beneath the waves of nostalgia. Since that first guitar in '66, I've probably owned 200 guitars, ranging from inexpensive Kays to Gibsons and Fenders costing thousands of dollars. I play professionally and have for decades, and for live shows I typically play a White Falcon, a PRS and an old Tele. I love my "luxe" axes, but I gotta tell ya, when I picked up this Jim Dandy, I was immediately transported to those long-ago practice sessions, sitting on my bunk bed in the room I shared with my brother, pounding out "Wipe Out" and "Little Black Egg" for hours on end. It was practically magical, baby! This guitar is never going to sound as good as my Dove or Martin, but it is fun as all get-out to play and perfect for writing songs or just pickin' some Dylan on the back porch on a summer's evening. And the build quality, sound and set up are all excellent; far beyond what the price tag might imply. It's just a fun little guitar. And it's cheap enough that if I whack it on a lawn chair or lean it against a wet bush when I'm sitting around a campfire, it's not the end of the world.
Review: Fantastic - This guitar has a very bright and loud sound to it. The neck was set correctly right out of the box. I highly recommend open D tuning on this instrument. Well worth it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Compact Guitar
*by J***S on December 8, 2025*

Note: I'm still learning to play, so I'm not a seasoned guitar player. I got tired of lugging my Martin D-18 around. This thing is a great size to travel with or throw in the car, and it seems rugged enough that I'm not worried about banging it on things. It takes up very little space in my office. The very first thing I did was break a string when tuning it for the first time, not sure what was up with that. So I put new strings on it right away, and it's been good to go. The space between strings is a little tight, but otherwise I enjoy playing it. Definitely good value for the money, and it looks and sounds good and plays well.
