G9520-BRB Jim Dandy Flat Top

The G9520-BRB Jim Dandy Flat Top (RRP £178.80) is priced at the other end of the spectrum and might just have jumped straight to the top of our Christmas list as it would be a very cool little guitar to have around the house.

Gretsch says the Bronze Burst instrument is "faithful to the Gretsch 'Rex' parlour guitars of the 1930s, '40s and '50s" embodying "everything that was great about everyone's first guitar - and more! Made of select guitar woods and fully lined and braced, the G9515 offers warm and pleasing tones, with a comfortable 24-inch scale provides hours of playing ease and enjoyment."
