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, tortoiseshell binding and “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 Dreadnought is a ramblin’ companion for newbies and old-timers alike.SPECS GENERALMODEL NUMBER2711230511SERIESJim Dandy™COLORBlack Top NUMBER OF STRINGS6ORIENTATIONRight-Hand BODYBUILDAcoustic BODY FINISHSemi-GlossBODY SHAPEDreadnoughtBODY MATERIALSapeleBRACINGX-Bracing ROSETTEGold/White RingsBODY BINDINGTortoiseshellBODY BACKLaminated SapeleBODY SIDESLaminated SapeleBODY TOPLaminated SapeleBODY DEPTH4.5" (114 mm)BODY LENGTH19.4" (49.2 cm) MISCELLANEOUSSTRINGSD'Addario® EJ16 Phosphor Bronze, Light (.012-.053 Gauges)STRAP BUTTONSVintage End-PinCASE/GIG BAGNone NECKNECK MATERIALNatoNECK FINISHSemi-GlossNECK SHAPE"C" ShapeNECK BINDINGTortoiseshellSCALE LENGTH24.75" (629 mm)FINGERBOARD RADIUS12" (305 mm)FINGERBOARD MATERIALWalnutNUMBER OF FRETS20 (14 to Body)FRET SIZEVintageNUT MATERIALSynthetic BoneNUT WIDTH1.6825" (42.7 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 ELECTRONICS CONTROLS NA SPECIAL ELECTRONICS Gretsch® Deltoluxe Soundhole Pickup
