Gretsch Deltoluxe Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Pickup

Warm Magnetic Clarity for Vintage-Flavoured Acoustic Tone

The Gretsch Deltoluxe acoustic soundhole pickup is designed for players who want amplified acoustic sound without the brittle edge often introduced by piezo systems. Its single-coil magnetic design captures the natural resonance of your guitar with a smooth, warm character that responds well to picking dynamics and slide techniques. Plug it into a small tube amp and it delivers rich bluesy grit, vintage shimmer or mellow Hawaiian-style tones, depending on your playing style and setup.

Equipped with Alnico 5 magnets, the pickup offers a balanced tonal response with clear highs, rounded mids and controlled low end, helping your guitar retain its natural voice through amplification. The tortoiseshell and chrome aesthetic is inspired by the earliest acoustic pickup designs of the 1940s, offering classic style with reliable modern performance. It mounts easily and includes a hardwired end-pin jack for a clean, stage-ready installation.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Deltoluxe is a great choice for acoustic players chasing vintage character, warm clarity and easy amplified performance.
