Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe Parlor – Black Top, Walnut Fingerboard
A modern take on the beloved "Rex" mail-order guitars of the 1930s–50s, the Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe Parlour combines vintage charm with upgraded playability and amplified versatility. Its petite parlor body and short 24" scale deliver that unmistakable boxy punch, throaty midrange, and old-time bluesy character parlor guitars are famous for—perfect for porch pickin', songwriting, or acoustic jams.
X-bracing and lightweight laminate tonewoods create a warm, woody response, while the comfortable "C"-shape neck invites hours of effortless playing. The onboard Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup adds a whole new dimension, letting you plug in for live gigs, studio work, or experimenting with effects. Finished with classic vintage details and a tortoiseshell "G"-graphic pickguard, this guitar is built for vibe, personality, and timeless Gretsch character.
