Model: 2711030511 Inspired by the historic “Rex” line of instruments offered by mail-order catalog in the 1930s, ‘40s and ’50s, Jim Dandy™ models embody the charm and spirit of those early Gretsch® flat-top guitars with the superior playability and best-in-class tone that their namesake suggests. Featuring a petite and portable parlor body shape and a short 24“ scale length, the Jim Dandy™ Deltoluxe™ Parlor punches above its weight with a distinct tonal clarity and throaty midrange for which parlor guitars are so beloved. The X-braced body is crafted with select lightweight laminate tonewoods for an optimal balance of woody vintage tone and reliable durability, while the “C”-shape neck presents an inviting feel for hours of old-timey inspiration. The onboard Gretsch Deltoluxe magnetic soundhole pickup produces versatile electrified acoustic tone, providing added utility for live performance, recording, and effects pedals. Period-correct details such as a vintage-style pinned bridge, “G”-graphic pickguard, painted pinstripe purfling, 3-on-a-plate open-gear tuning machines and oversized dot fingerboard inlays combine for a nostalgic personality destined for any barnburner or jamboree. Well suited for everything from bluesy porch pickin’ to speakeasy swingin’, the Gretsch Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.SPECS GENERALMODEL NUMBER2711030511SERIESJim Dandy™COLORBlack Top NUMBER OF STRINGS6ORIENTATIONRight-Hand BODYBUILDAcoustic BODY FINISHSemi-GlossBODY SHAPEParlorBODY MATERIALSapeleBRACINGX-Bracing ROSETTEGold/White RingsBODY BINDINGTortoiseshellBODY BACKLaminated SapeleBODY SIDESLaminated SapeleBODY TOPLaminated SapeleBODY DEPTH3.75" (95 mm)BODY LENGTH17.8" (45.2 cm) MISCELLANEOUSSTRINGSD'Addario® EJ16 Phosphor Bronze, Light (.012-.053 Gauges)STRAP BUTTONSVintage End-PinCASE/GIG BAGNone NECKNECK MATERIALNatoNECK FINISHSemi-GlossNECK SHAPE"C" ShapeNECK BINDINGTortoiseshellSCALE LENGTH24" (610 mm)FINGERBOARD RADIUS12" (305 mm)FINGERBOARD MATERIALWalnutNUMBER OF FRETS18 (12 to Body)FRET SIZEVintageNUT MATERIALSynthetic BoneNUT WIDTH1.69" (43 mm)POSITION INLAYSWhite Pearloid DotTRUSS ROD NUT4 mm HexTRUSS ROD WRENCH4 mm Hex (Allen)HEADSTOCK1950's Gretsch® 3x3 HARDWAREBRIDGEWalnut with Compensated Saddle HARDWARE FINISHNickelTUNING MACHINESOpen-Gear Die-CastPICKGUARD1-Ply Tortoiseshell ELECTRONICSCONTROLSNASPECIAL ELECTRONICSGretsch® Deltoluxe Soundhole Pickup
