Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe Parlour – Black Top, Walnut Fingerboard
Vintage vibe, small body, big personality.
The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlour is a modern take on the classic mail-order guitars of the 1930s–50s, built for players who love that boxy, punchy blues tone and stripped-back feel. The compact parlour body and short 24" scale make it incredibly comfortable to play, while the tone delivers that unmistakable throaty midrange and old-school character.
Add the Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup, and this isn't just a couch guitar, it's ready for amps, pedals and gigs too.
