The Jim Dandy Series Deltoluxe Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar is inspired by the historic 'Rex' line of instruments, which were popular in mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. It embodies the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars, offering superior playability and best-in-class tone.
The guitar is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods. This choice of material ensures an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability.
The Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup is a feature of the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar that produces versatile electrified acoustic tones. It is particularly useful for live performances, recording sessions, and use with effects pedals.
The guitar features period-correct details like a vintage-style pinned bridge, tortoiseshell binding, and a 'G'-graphic pickguard. Other nostalgic elements include painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays.
The guitar is versatile and well suited for a range of music styles, from bluesy porch pickin' to speakeasy swingin'. It's a great choice for musicians of all levels.
