Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlour Acoustic Electric Guitar Gretsch

Unlock the vintage charm and captivating tone of the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlour Acoustic Electric Guitar, inspired by the renowned “Rex” line of instruments featured in mail-order catalogs of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. Jim Dandy™ models encapsulate the spirit of early Gretsch® flat-top guitars, offering unmatched playability and superior tone.

With its petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24″ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe™ Parlour delivers remarkable tonal clarity and a rich midrange that parlor guitars are cherished for. The X-braced body is meticulously crafted from lightweight laminate tonewoods, striking a perfect balance between vintage warmth and enduring durability. The comfortable “C”-shape neck invites you to dive into hours of old-time musical inspiration. Equipped with the onboard Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup, this guitar produces versatile electrified acoustic tones, making it ideal for live performances, recording, and exploring various effects pedals. Authentic vintage features like the vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays add to its nostalgic personality, making it the perfect companion for any musical adventure.

Whether you’re picking blues on the porch or swinging to speakeasy tunes, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlour in Black Top is the perfect partner for musicians of all levels.
