The Paramount PD-220E marries modern craftsmanship with vintage charm, offering the best of both eras. You can choose between a solid spruce or solid mahogany top, paired with solid mahogany back and sides. Its offset X-bracing pattern is fine - tuned to boost resonance and tone. The brand - new Fender and Fishman® - designed Presys VT Plus pickup captures the full, balanced sound of the dreadnought body. The soundhole - mounted controls keep the vintage look intact. Under the top, a body - sensing pickup enhances the soundboard's vibrations, which can be blended with the undersaddle S - Core pickup. The updated look features snowflake - shaped pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, along with a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. It has an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, a slim - taper mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, and comes with a hardshell case.

Using your Fender PD - 220E is a breeze. First, take it out of the hardshell case gently. You can use the open - back tuners to tune the strings to your desired pitch. When you start playing, the sound will be picked up by the Fender and Fishman® - designed Presys VT Plus pickup. You can adjust the sound using the soundhole - mounted controls. To blend different sounds, you can play around with the body - sensing pickup and the undersaddle S - Core pickup. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to avoid damage to the wood. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep it clean. You should also change the strings regularly, like every few months, to maintain good sound quality. When not in use, put it back in the hardshell case to protect it from scratches and bumps.
