Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor Acoustics Series Guitar (2024)

Join James G as he explores the charming vintage-inspired Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor! Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments from the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, the Jim Dandy models encapsulate the spirit and appeal of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars. This model is not just about looks; it delivers best-in-class tone and playability.
Compact yet mighty, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe features a parlor body shape and a 24" scale length, making it perfect for travel without sacrificing sound quality. Its X-braced body is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods, ensuring a balance of durable, vintage tone. The “C”-shaped neck provides a comfortable playing experience, perfect for long sessions of musical creativity.
Equipped with the Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup, this guitar offers versatile electrified acoustic tones suitable for live performances, recording sessions, and use with effects pedals. Authentic vintage-style details like a pinned bridge, "G"-graphic pickguard, and painted pinstripe purfling add to its nostalgic charm.
Whether you're into bluesy tunes on the porch or swinging at the speakeasy, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor is your go-to guitar. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell for more guitar reviews and music insights!

[@MrMackingit]

Cool round about description , thanks

[@kyleross70]

These are super retro sounding and love the look. Playing these guitars is like stepping into a time machine without the risk of dating a relative.

[@rodiffinger7998]

I am an older beginner guitarist with small hands and arthritis so I like smaller guitars. I bought one of these parlour guitars recently, it looks cool and feels good in my hands and I like the sound of it. Thanks for a great demo 😊🎶‼️

[@lomarsweed6604]

Sounds banjo-esque

[@neastguy]

sounds just like my old jim dandy .. except no pickup on mine.... not really a guitar Id ever record with or play out live with.. so I dont see a need for a pickup YMMV

[@upover]

They sell these pickups by themselves if you ever want to move to a semi electric

[@robinhadley5267]

Sapel?😊
