Electroacoustic Guitar Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Concert Black Top with Pickup
This Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe is a concert size acoustic guitar. Concert size guitars are smaller than dreadnoughts but bigger than parlors, making them ideal for musicians that are looking for a comfortable instrument with good sound projection. Comes with a Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup to produce a versatile sound for live performances or studio recordings. Elegant black color top and semi-gloss finish.
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Concerto is the electro-acoustic guitar you were missing in your guitar set.
Inspired by mail-order instruments in the United States during the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Jim Dandy guitars have the charm and spirit of early Gretsch flat-top guitars.
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Concerto fits perfectly into any guitarist's collection. With a concert body shape, which is between the dimensions of a parlor guitar and a dreadnought, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe is comfortable and compact. The scale length is also shorter than a standard acoustic guitar, with a length of 24.75 inches.
Practical, affordable and with a lot of style, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Concerto has a versatile but very characteristic sound that makes it a perfect guitar for blues, folk, and for singers who like more complex chords and some swing. The body is made from selected lightweight laminated woods, with X-bracing for woody vintage sounds and greater sustain.
The top of the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe is made of sapele, as are the bottom and sides. This model is black, with a glossy finish. It features a tortoiseshell pelmet, as well as the nail guard.
The neck is in natural 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 pickup Gretsch® Deltoluxe Soundhole Pickup produces a versatile sound, making it a valuable extra for using the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe live or in the recording studio, with and without effects pedals.
