Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor Acoustic Electric Guitar Black

Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor Acoustic Electric Guitar Black – Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments offered by mail-order catalog in the 1930s, ‘40s and ’50s, Jim Dandy™ models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars with the superior playability and best-in-class tone that their namesake suggests. Featuring a petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24“ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe™ Parlor punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which parlor guitars are so beloved.

The X-braced body is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods for an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the “C”-shape neck presents an inviting feel for hours of old-timey inspiration. The onboard Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup produces versatile electrified acoustic tone, providing added utility for live performance, recording, and effects pedals. Period-correct details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines and oversized dot fingerboard inlays combine for a nostalgic personality destined for any barnburner or jamboree. Well suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin’ to speakeasy swingin’, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.

Description

Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor Acoustic Electric Guitar Black

Sturdy laminate construction and X-bracing

A laminate wood top, back, and sides ensure the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe bears true acoustic tonal power, without the extra weight on your shoulders. Inside the soundhole lies carefully designed X-bracing, adding extra durability to your instrument while keeping vibrations stable and resonant. Because of the guitar’s wood grain surface, you won’t be sacrificing charming looks either. Whether you plan on playing onstage, in the studio, or by the back door, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe maintains a sharp, historic appearance in any musician’s hands.

Traditional nato neck

The Jim Dandy Deltoluxe’s smooth nato neck combines a dovetail neck joint and a “C”-shaped profile for maximum maneuverability, not to mention a semi-gloss finish for lighting-fast movements along the instrument’s walnut fingerboard. Speaking of which, onboard fretboard side markets and white dot inlays keep fretting accurate during jam sessions while maintaining a recognizable, authentic appearance.

Vintage appointments supply a classic porch-pickin’ feel

Like its iconic shape and tonewood design, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe’s onboard hardware and fixtures pay homage to its age-old instrumental ancestor. A genuine walnut bridge with a compensated saddle pair with a synthetic bone nut for reliable string positioning and authentic vibration transfer. Likewise, onboard nickel hardware and open gear die-cast tuning machines ensure solid intonation support and an authentic vintage look. It’s all topped off with a smooth semi-gloss finish — ensuring a smooth feel and advanced handling that comes as close as possible to the original model.
