Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Jim Dandy Parlor in Rex Burst is a right-handed six-string acoustic built around a small parlor body and 24-inch scale. That compact format is positioned for taking to jam sessions, songwriting sessions, and gigs. Laminated basswood forms the top, back, and sides, joined by X-bracing, a walnut fingerboard, and walnut bridge. Its open-gear die-cast tuners and semi-gloss finish reinforce the vintage-styled design. There is no onboard pickup or preamp, so it stays focused on unplugged acoustic playing.
