Gretsch Deltoluxe Parlor Walnu Tortoiseshell Pickguard Black Top Acoustic Guitar

The Gretsch Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe™ Parlor brings the nostalgic charm of 1930s mail-order guitars into the modern era with authentic vintage character and contemporary reliability. Drawing inspiration from the legendary “Rex” line of instruments that graced catalogues throughout the mid-20th century, these guitars capture the spirit and playability that made those early Gretsch® flat-tops so beloved by musicians of the era.

Built around a compact parlor body with a comfortable 24” scale length, this guitar produces the distinct tonal clarity and rich midrange that parlor guitars are renowned for. The X-braced construction utilises select lightweight laminate tonewoods, striking an ideal balance between that coveted woody vintage tone and the durability required for regular playing. The “C”-shaped neck profile provides an inviting feel that encourages extended playing sessions.

What sets the Deltoluxe apart is its onboard Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup, which opens up versatile amplified possibilities for live performance, studio recording, and effects processing. Period-authentic appointments include a vintage-style pinned bridge, distinctive “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays that combine to create an unmistakably nostalgic aesthetic perfect for any musical gathering.
