The Fender Paramount PS-220E is a remarkable electro-acoustic parlour guitar that seamlessly combines modern craftsmanship with vintage charm. You can choose between a solid spruce or solid mahogany top, paired with solid mahogany back and sides. Its offset X-bracing pattern has been finely tuned to optimize resonance and produce a rich, warm tone. The guitar features a specially designed pickup by Fender and Fishman®, which amplifies the tight and articulate sound of its parlour body shape. The soundhole-mounted controls not only enhance the tone but also maintain the classic vintage look. Under the top, a body-sensing pickup captures the soundboard's vibrations and can be blended with the undersaddle S-Core pickup for a customized sound. The updated cosmetic details include snowflake-shaped Pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, a beautiful rosette, and a backstrip. It also comes with a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. The PS-220E has an ovangkol bridge, a 14-fret fingerboard, a slim-taper mahogany neck, a bone nut and saddle, and is delivered with a hardshell case.

Using your Fender Paramount PS-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. The Fender®/Fishman® Presys VT Plus Soundhole Pickup System allows you to plug it into an amplifier. You can adjust the tone using the soundhole - mounted controls. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and stable environment to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings after each use to keep them clean and prevent rust. Check the tuning regularly as the strings may stretch over time. If you need to change the strings, use the Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings with the specified gauges. And always store the guitar back in the hardshell case when not in use to protect it from damage.
