Vintage-Inspired Concert Body for Comfortable Playing Feel

The compact concert body shape of the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe concert acoustic-electric guitar offers comfortable ergonomics for hours of inspired playing. The small upper and lower bouts fit nicely against your body in a seated position. When standing, you can easily reach all areas of the smooth sapele neck and walnut fingerboard.

Laminated Sapele Construction Provides Balanced Tone & Durability

The top, back and sides of the Deltoluxe Jim Dandy Concert are crafted from laminated sapele, a tonewood valued for its balanced sound. You get a vintage-inspired blend of warmth and articulation. Sapele's laminated construction also makes the guitar more resistant to climate changes and everyday wear and tear—ideal for gigging and practice. Underneath, X-bracing aids resonance to let the sapele body sing.

Deltoluxe Magnetic Soundhole Pickup Captures Natural Acoustic Tones

Plug in the Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Concert anytime with its built-in Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup. Developed with Fishman, it accurately conveys the guitar's woody resonance and organic tone. Simply turn the volume knob to blend in the pickup. You can amplify your sound seamlessly for performing live, recording in the studio or using effects pedals. The pickup preserves the guitar's unplugged character.

Walnut Fingerboard & Vintage-Style Bridge Enhances the Vintage Vibe

Up top, the smooth walnut fingerboard has a comfortable nut width of 1.6875", making chords and solos a breeze. Vintage-style fingerboard inlays complete the retro esthetic. The pinned walnut bridge matches the fingerboard, providing vintage looks and balanced string-to-body coupling.
