Gretsch Guitars

collapse expand iconDescription

Inspired by the historic Rex line of instruments offered by mail-order catalog in the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s, the Gretsch Guitars Deltoluxe Parlor Acoustic Guitar Jim Dandy model embodies the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars with the superior playability and best-in-class tone that their namesake suggests. Featuring a petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24” scale length, the Jim Dandy Parlor punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which parlor guitars are so beloved.

The X-braced body is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods for an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the “C”-shape neck presents an inviting feel for hours of old-timey inspiration. Period-correct details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines and oversized dot fingerboard inlays combine for a nostalgic personality destined for any barnburner or jamboree. Well suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin’ to speakeasy swingin’, the Gretsch Deltoluxe Jim Dandy Parlor is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.

    Can't say enough about this 12 fret guitar for the price point. Laminated Sapele top, back and sides makes for a very unique sound. Fun guitar to jam on. #sweepstakes

    This guitar packs a whole lot of wallop into a small package. It sounds bigger than it's size and I was surprised to hear some actual thump and punch from the three low strings. The neck is very playable for both small and large hands. It's great for home or the road. You won't regret buying this well-crafted guitar.

    I thought the smaller size would be an issue but I am finding that I prefer a parlor over a traditional acoustic due to size and tonal qualities that I have been searching for. Not to mention this thing has a very great unique look. #sweepstakes
