Electroacoustic Guitar Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor Black Top with Pickup

The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Electro-Acoustic Guitar is an instrument that feels like it was custom-made for lovers of the classic eras of 20th century music.

Jim Dandy guitars are some of Gretsch's most popular models. Inspired by the “Rex” line of mail order instruments in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Jim Dandy guitars have the charm and spirit of early Gretsch flat-top guitars.

The Jim Dandy Deltoluxe is a parlor guitar, that is, it has smaller dimensions than the size of a standard acoustic guitar. The top is in sapele, as are the bottom and sides. The body, all in black and with a glossy finish, is outlined by a tortoiseshell pelmet, as is the nail guard. The rosette is discreet, but full of style in gold/white rings.

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.
