Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top FSR Barnwood Burst
It’s definitely one of the best bang-for-your-buck entry-level acoustics that’s a blast to play. This well-built guitar instills some much needed character and variety to the typically stale entry-level acoustic market. Definitely worth every penny!

easily the best bang-for-buck guitar youll find on the market nowadays, especially if youre a fingerpicker looking for some delta blues flavored guitar. Greatest virtue: easy, VERY easy to play ... almost addictive!

I've been eyeing the Jim Dandy for a while since I wanted a specific sound for blues, and this guitar definitely delivered! I knew it would sound great, but the first time I played it, the projection and the darkness of it blew me away. It's very comfortable for finger picking and strumming alike, the neck is a dream to play on. Just overall an amazing guitar that fits my needs to a T.

Great for finger-style, not so great for strumming as the higher registers are a little tinny, but not unexpected in such a small bodied guitar. Generally well set up but would benefit from a change of strings & maybe lower the action a little. I bought it as a travel guitar, so ideal for my practice needs & it didn't break the bank. Also, great service from DV247, couldn't fault them. Cheers guys.
