Gretsch Deltoluxe Parlor Acoustic Guitar w/Soundhole Pickup
When it comes to getting bang for your buck, this Gretsch Deltoluxe Parlor Acoustic Guitar is about as good as it gets. Featuring an onboard soundhole pickup system, this instrument is a homage to the iconic Rex line of instruments that captivated musicians in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. It embodies the timeless charm and spirit of those early Gretsch flat-top guitars while boasting a remarkably playable profile, given its price tag.
The Deltoluxe features a petite and portable parlor body shape reminiscent of vintage models, coupled with a convenient 24-inch scale length. Despite its compact size, this guitar delivers a tonal clarity and a throaty midrange, characteristics that have made parlor guitars beloved by musicians for generations. Its top features a black, gloss finish while its back and sides are left natural.
Its X-braced body is crafted from select lightweight laminate tonewoods, mostly sapele. The “C” shape neck is made of Nato, and surrounded with a tortoiseshell binding. On the neck, a walnut fingerboard features 18 frets (12 accessible), and a 12-inch radius. The frets are sized Vintage, and white pearloid dot inlays live between them. The synthetic bone nut measure at 1.69″ wide.Â
Equipped with a Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup, this guitar offers versatile electrified acoustic tone suitable for live performance, recording, and experimentation with effects pedals.
True to its vintage-inspired design, the Deltoluxe Parlor features period-correct details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, and oversized dot fingerboard inlays: nostalgic touches that add personality and charm to an already remarkable instrument.
