The Fender Paramount PO-220E brings together modern craftsmanship and vintage charm. It offers a choice of a solid spruce or solid mahogany top, paired with a solid mahogany back and sides. The offset X - bracing pattern has been precisely refined to boost resonance and tone. A pickup co - designed by Fender and Fishman® amplifies the warm, mid - focused sound of the newly designed orchestra body. Soundhole - mounted controls maintain the vintage look. Under the top, a body - sensing pickup enhances the soundboard's vibrations and can be mixed with the undersaddle S - Core pickup. The updated look includes snowflake - shaped Pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, along with a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. It features an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, a slim - taper mahogany neck, a bone nut and saddle, and comes with a hardshell case.

Using your Fender PO - 220E is easy. First, take it out of the hardshell case carefully. Tune the guitar using the open - back tuners until you get the right pitch. You can adjust the sound using the soundhole - mounted controls. When playing, the body - sensing pickup and undersaddle S - Core pickup work together to give you a great sound. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep it clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood. If you need to change the strings, use the Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings. Make sure to replace all strings one by one to keep the tension on the neck even. Also, check the tuning machines regularly to ensure they're working properly. With proper care, your Fender PO - 220E will last you a long time.
