Customer reviews about Gretsch Deltoluxe Pickup

Nice

This is a cool pickup. I'm a big fan of the vintage DeArmond 1100, so having something similar to the 1000 (no adjustable pole pieces) that fits in a soundhole is great. The sound is warm and only mildly electric, so it's become my go-to pickup for amplifying my range of acoustic instruments. I've tried dozens of other pickups and pickup systems and the only thing I like better than the Deltoluxe is a microphone.

6 months in, still happy with it

Nil Hammerstrumm 07.03.2023

I wanted a not too expensive pick up for playing at home,for my top notch Eastman Dreadnaught E20D TC. With a cheap Behringer ADI 21 to mellow the "electric" sound abit , (or some good EQ) this is a great pick up. It lacks the woody sound, but it does not bother me. It does absolutely convey the quality of the guitar. Flageolets at the normal and abnormal places...it picks up all overtones perfectly. So even though it looks a bit strange, with the chrome,in that Martin 1934 copy, I decided to install it permanently. Needed to drill out the endpin hole a little but apart from that installing it was very easy. I did try it also in a small body parlor style guitar, sounds great as well. I play mostly fingerstyle blues. Maybe one day I´ll upgrade to a soundholepick up with a built in mic, but 6 months in I am still happy with it.

Great!

Gregor S 22.05.2021

Ideal for my small sound hole parlor guitar Ibanez AVN3.
High output and with nice leather strap for hanging at strap pin. No need for modifications on the guitar.
Easy to fix.

Looks very good, plays the same with just one hook

Zabit_Frantiska 02.05.2019

Nice looking and fits even really small soundholes. The sound is beautiful (at first the amount of bass struck me in a good way) yet it is hard to use for recording because of the signatural single-coil hum. Grounding as much as I was able to did solve the problem to a degree, yet I find it usable only for solos where you can edit/hide the hum more easily. Yet, for live playing should be work no problem. Also, the price is decent.

Antonis K. 18.04.2019

very worm and clear sound for 6 string guitar or 12 string guitar. Very easy to install no hum noise. Perfect for finger picking

🙂

Peter R. 438 30.07.2024

I love this pickup, it looks so classic and sounds very chimey. Depending on your amp type, mine is an old AC 30.
I fit my new pickup in a small body acoustic because I'm no fan of peizo puckups. This is a great conversion, turning my twangy acoustic into a sweet bluesy sweetheart.
Very little eq needed, maybe a "tad" of cut on treble and mid.
Took me 30 minutes and new strings, on my kitchen table. Well worth it. I certainly recommend.

More For Looks

Adam Outlnd 28.09.2024

It almost sounds amazing (very vintage), but it is crazy noisy. If there is any noise to be picked up at all, it will. And because you can't adjust the output, you have to amplify the signal as is, which is messy almost everywhere I've used it. I left it in, but more for looks haha, and use my parallel K&K pure mini output jack instead

Nice

Robin Banks 12.11.2021

Ordered for my 60s Koren made acoustic. Nice and spitty and warm. Great for recording to mix with a condenser at the bridge (I find)
