Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor – Vintage Vibe, Timeless Sound

The Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor is a modern take on a vintage classic, inspired by the legendary “Rex” mail-order guitars of the 1930s-1950s. This parlor-style acoustic delivers warm, bluesy tones with a throaty midrange punch, making it a perfect companion for folk, blues, and old-time country players.

Built for comfort and projection, this short-scale, lightweight parlor guitar features an X-braced laminated sapele body and a smooth, “C”-shaped nato neck for effortless playability. The 24” scale length and 12” fingerboard radius make it comfortable for players of all levels. But the standout feature? The Gretsch Deltoluxe™ magnetic soundhole pickup, which lets you plug in and amplify your sound while preserving the guitar’s organic, vintage tone.

For those seeking classic style, warm tone, and versatile playability, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor is a must-have instrument. Whether you’re picking on the porch, performing on stage, or recording in the studio, this parlor guitar is ready to bring nostalgic charm and crisp, articulate sound to your playing.
