The tortoiseshell and chrome design is inspired by the timeless look of some of the first pickup designs from the 1940’s while also incorporating modern functionality. Includes end-pin mounted jack that is hardwired to the pickup. Easily mounts to most acoustic guitars and can be permanently mounted by a qualified technician. Review: Awesome Vintage Pickup For An Awesome Vintage Guitar - I ordered this pickup for my Gretsch Jim Dandy Guitar, which is part of Gretsch's Roots Collection. I love that little guitar for authentic tone on Acoustic Blues music, which I am studying. The price of the instrument is very reasonable and this pickup goes beautifully with it. (Heads up, desertcart. At the start of August, Gretsch made a combination of a very similar parlor guitar with the same 24" scale plus this same pickup bundled together and called the "Gretsch Gin Rickey". The price is the same as that of the pickup plus that of the Jim Dandy guitar. If desertcart offers that bundled product, that instrument will have the pickup installed with the output jack in the end pin position without the purchaser paying a luthier to install it. That's what I will soon do. I'm good with tools but would rather pay to have a real tech install it in my beloved "JD".) I did a temporary installation with the jack outside of the guitar. I tried it on my Blackstar Fly 3 and my Yamaha THR5A amps on battery and with the power cords. It was WAY beyond my wildest dreams. That pickup is BEAUTIFUL! The sound is very retro with the "Tube" setting on the Yamaha acoustic amp. On clean settings it can be assertive and bell like. I'm in love with it, and it's what this great little parlor guitar deserves. You deserve it, too, so go buy one! Review: Excellent. - Was just what I was looking for, tone wise. Sounds crips with that oh so appealing vintage look/feel. Installation without drilling into your acoustic is easy enough with the “leather?” strap for the output jack that attaches to your strap button. (Don’t pay mind to how I don’t have mine attached to said button at the moment) ## Features - Single-coil soundhole pickup - Mounts easily into most acoustic guitars - Alnico 5 magnets - DC Resistance: 14.6k, Inductance: 8.0 Henries - Includes internal cable from pickup to ¼" end-pin jack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CCYHJ6T | | Back Material | Nato Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,047 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #67 in Guitar Pickups & Pickup Covers | | Body Material | Mahogany | | Color Name | Chrome with Tortoise | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (127) | | Date First Available | March 26, 2018 | | Fretboard Material | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | S | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Item model number | 9223859000 | | Neck Material Type | Cedar | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 7 x 3 x 9 inches | | Scale Length | 24.75 | | String Material | Nickel | | Top Material | Aluminum | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Nato Wood - **Body Material:** Mahogany - **Brand:** Gretsch - **Color:** Chrome with Tortoise - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** S - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Cedar - **String Material Type:** Nickel - **Top Material Type:** Aluminum ## Images ![Gretsch® Deltoluxe Acoustic Soundhole Pickup - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7136ptBuMaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it fit on the gretsch jim dandy** A: There’s a you tube video of a guy slaying the blues with one in a Jim dandy. Mine fits great in the OO gretsch **Q: how long is the cable?** A: The cable is approx 25" long from the pickup to the jack. Plenty long enough to run it on the outside of the guitar body to the included leather strap that connects to the strap button. **Q: Will this fit a 3-3/4" soundhole?** A: This pickup has two screws to fix at soundhole. Dimension of between screw to the other side screw is about 84mm. 3-3/4" is 94.25mm. **Q: What size cable do I need to plug this into an amplifier?** A: It comes wired to a 1/4" endpin jack. You would use a standard 1/4" instrument cable. (same as you would use for an electric guitar) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Vintage Pickup For An Awesome Vintage Guitar *by S***H on August 20, 2020* I ordered this pickup for my Gretsch Jim Dandy Guitar, which is part of Gretsch's Roots Collection.

Love it! *by W***L on May 17, 2021* Great pickup option if you are looking for a more electric than acoustic sound. I am using on a Jim Dandy and I love it. There is a bit of noise which is common with a single coil, part of the sound. No feedback issues at all. I had to drill a hole to install which was a pain but the install is very easy if you already have a hole there. For the price and the look it is great. If you had to pay for install it might be a bit steep. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gretsch® Deltoluxe Acoustic Soundhole Pickup - Ernie Ball Glass Slide, Medium (P04228) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/75416636-gretsch-deltoluxe-acoustic-soundhole-pickup](https://www.desertcart.us/products/75416636-gretsch-deltoluxe-acoustic-soundhole-pickup) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
