Electroacoustic Guitar Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Dread Black Top with Pickup
Dreadnought guitars are well known for having a richer and louder sound. The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Dread comes with a Dreadnought body shape and an onboard Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic pickup that's installed on the guitar soundhole for a very unique look and sound. Elegant semi-gloss finish.
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe electro-acoustic guitar is the perfect fusion between tradition and modernity, in a Dreadnought format.
Classic acoustic guitar models from the early days of rock'n'roll and rockabilly in the 1950s served as inspiration for this guitar with a rich and versatile sound, ideal for blues, country, folk, rock and other musical styles.
This Jim Dandy model has a classic and versatile Dreadnought body, with great sound projection. The top is in sapele, as are the bottom and sides. The body, all in black, is outlined by a tortoiseshell pelmet, as well as the nail guard, resulting in an instrument with a very classic but irreverent aesthetic, which even Johnny Cash wouldn't mind showing off on stage.
The neck is in nato and the fingerboard in walnut. The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe has 20 vintage-sized frets, synthetic bone nut and pearlescent position markers, which contrast perfectly with the dark tone of the fingerboard wood.
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe is perfectly heard in acoustic mode but the Gretsch® Deltoluxe Soundhole Pickup, placed in the middle of the soundhole, captures the essence of the vintage tone with fidelity and gives it a stronger and even more aggressive voice, if you so wish.
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe electro-acoustic guitar is perfect for musicians looking for an authentic vintage sound with modern versatility and the ability to give more power to your sound by amplifying it.
