Inspired by the historic range of "Rex" 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 superior playability and top-notch tone to top it all off. Featuring a specially designed sloped shoulder body shape and a modest 24.75-inch scale length, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Dreadnought offers a refreshing, comfortable, and compact form factor without sacrificing the volume, projection, and bass response for which dreadnought guitars are so revered. 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 produces a versatile electrified acoustic sound, providing added utility for live performances, recording, and effects pedals. Period details such as a vintage-style pin bridge, tortoiseshell binding and "G" pickguard, painted stripe bindings, open-gear 3-on-a-plate tuners, and oversized fretboard inlays combine to create a nostalgic personality suited for any barnburner or jamboree. The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Dreadnought is a road companion for beginners and seasoned players alike.
An amazing guitar, the acoustic sound is warm, plugged into an electroacoustic amp the sound becomes amazing, you keep the acoustic sound with a little something extra.
Comfort of the neck.
