Gretsch Guitars Parlor Deltoluxe Signature Jim Dandy Wn Black Top

Description

DELTOLUXE PARLOR

Inspired by the historic "Rex" range of instruments offered through mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, the Jim Dandy models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars, with the superior playability and best-in-class tone their namesake suggests.
Featuring a small, portable parlor body shape and a short 24" scale length, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor punches above its weight with distinct tonal clarity and guttural mids for which parlor guitars are so beloved.
The X-braced body is crafted from lightweight laminated tonewoods selected for an optimal balance between vintage woody tone and reliable durability, while the "C"-shaped neck offers an inviting feel for hours of old-school inspiration. The built-in Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic pickup delivers a versatile electrified acoustic sound, providing added utility for live performances, recording, and effects pedals. Period details such as a vintage-style pin bridge, "G" graphic pickguard, painted binding stripes, open-gear 3-on-a-plate tuners, and oversized fretboard inlays combine to create a nostalgic personality suited for any barnburner or jamboree.
Adaptable to all situations, from bluesy porch pickin' to speakeasy swingin', the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor is a road companion for beginners and seasoned players alike.

Superb little guitar after adjustment and replacement of the saddle bridge due to a small chip. When tuning the low E (synthetic bone specs ??? Hard and brittle plastic) in short well adjusted excellent value for money the pickup on the other hand is exceptional. Clearly blues-typed the guitar you need. Hardware more than mediocre but strangely it sounds amazing
