The Korena take

The Jim Dandy Deltoluxe Parlor adds a Gretsch Deltoluxe soundhole pickup to a compact, 24-inch-scale acoustic-electric format. Its laminated sapele body and X-braced construction serve a focused, midrange-forward parlor voice, while the pickup gives you a direct route to an amp or PA for stage work and studio recording. A 1.69-inch nut width, nato neck, walnut fingerboard, and 18 frets make up the playing platform. The Black Top finish and open-gear tuners retain its period-inspired visual direction.
