The inspiration for this guitar came from the idea of a guitar enthusiast’s first [guitar collectible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highly-collectible-vintage-guitars), which is the shape of a Jim Dandy guitar that was named after Jim "Dandy" Mangrum, the lead singer of [Black Oak Arkansas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tap-burgers-beer). In terms of the material of the guitar, the fretboard is made of black walnut with the neck profile in a “C” shape. This guitar also contains vintage-inspired frets with Pearloid dot inlays. The body of the guitar is made of basswood and the tuning machines follow a 50s-era style design. In addition, there is a “G” graphic on the white-colored pickguard. The guitar is currently priced at $269.
