Description
Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments featured in mail-order catalogs in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, the Jim Dandy™ models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® acoustic guitars with the superior playability and high-quality sound that their name suggests.
With a comfortable and compact concert body shape and a modest 24.75-inch scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe™ Concert achieves the perfect balance of versatile tone and accessible playability for a wide variety of musical contexts.
The “X”-braced body is crafted from selected lightweight laminated woods chosen for an optimal balance between vintage woody tone and reliable durability, while the “C”-shaped neck provides a welcoming feel for hours of old-school inspiration. The Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic pickup mounted in the soundhole produces a versatile electrified acoustic tone, offering additional utility for live performances, recording, and effects pedals. Vintage-inspired details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, a “G” graphic pickguard, painted edge trim inlays, three-on-a-plate open-geared tuners, and oversized fretboard markers combine for a nostalgic personality perfect for any festive gathering or jamboree.
Suited for bluesy porch picking as well as speakeasy swing, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Concert is a road companion for beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
