GRETSCH / Deltoluxe Dreadnought Black Top

Inspired by the historic Gretsch "Rex" acoustic guitars sold in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, the Jim Dandy models capture the charm and spirit of Gretsch's early flattops with superior playability and class-leading tone.

With a specially designed sloped shoulder body and 24.75" scale, the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Dreadnought is a comfortable, compact design without sacrificing the volume and low-end response of a dreadnought guitar.

The X-braced body is made of selected lightweight laminates to provide the perfect balance of woody vintage tone and durability. The "C"-shaped neck gives you the playability you've been playing for years. The Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup produces versatile acoustic tones for live performances and recordings, and works great with effect pedals. Details faithful to the specifications of the time, such as the vintage-style pin bridge, pickguard with "G" graphics, painted pinstripe purfling, "3-on-a-plate" open gear tuning machines, and oversized dot inlays, exude nostalgic individuality.

The Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Dreadnought is a guitar that will play in any situation, whether at home or at a cafe.
