The Paramount PD-220E marries top-notch craftsmanship with vintage charm, offering the ultimate guitar experience. It features a choice of a solid spruce or solid mahogany top, paired with solid mahogany back and sides. The offset X-bracing pattern is carefully tuned to maximize resonance and tone. The brand-new Fender and Fishman®-designed Presys VT Plus pickup amplifies the rich, balanced sound of the dreadnought body, while the soundhole controls keep that classic look. A body-sensing pickup under the top enhances the soundboard's vibrations, which can be mixed with the undersaddle S-Core pickup. Updated looks include snowflake fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, along with a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. It also comes with an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, a slim-taper mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, and a hardshell case.

Using your Fender PD-220E is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is properly tuned using the open-back tuners. You can adjust the tone and volume using the soundhole-mounted controls. To get the best sound, experiment with different strumming and picking techniques. When not in use, keep the guitar in its deluxe black hardshell case to protect it from damage. Wipe the guitar down with a soft, dry cloth after each use to keep it clean. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood. If you need to change the strings, use Fender® Dura-Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings (.012-.052 gauges). With proper care, your Fender PD-220E will provide you with years of great music.
