The Fender Paramount PO-220E electro acoustic orchestra guitar combines modern craftsmanship with vintage charm. It offers the best of both worlds, thanks to its choice of a solid spruce or solid mahogany top paired with solid mahogany back and sides. The offset X-bracing pattern has been finely tuned to optimize resonance and tone. A Fender and Fishman®-designed pickup amplifies the warm, mid-focused tone of the newly designed orchestra body shape. 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 guitar features snowflake-shaped Pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, along with a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. It also has an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, a slim-taper mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, and comes with a hardshell case. Specifications include an orchestra body shape, solid Sitka Spruce top and solid Mahogany back and sides with a gloss polyester finish, a 'C' shape neck profile, 15.75' (400 mm) fretboard radius, 25.3' (643 mm) scale length, 20 frets, snowflake fretboard inlays, Fender®/Fishman® Presys VT Plus Soundhole Pickup System, ovangkol bridge, 1-Ply Tiger Striped pickguard, Fender® Dura-Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 (.012-.052 Gauges) strings, open-back tuners, nickel hardware finish, and a deluxe black hardshell case with a black interior.
Using your Fender Paramount PO-220E guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the open-back tuners. You can adjust the sound using the soundhole-mounted controls. When you play, the body-sensing pickup and undersaddle S-Core pickup work together to give you a great sound. To blend the different pickups, play around with the controls. For maintenance, keep your guitar in the hardshell case when not in use to protect it from damage. Wipe the strings after each use to remove dirt and sweat. You can also clean the body with a soft cloth. Don't expose the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood. If you need to change the strings, use Fender® Dura-Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings. Just follow these simple steps and your guitar will stay in great condition for a long time.
