The Fender Paramount PS - 220E is a remarkable electro - acoustic parlour guitar that blends 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 precisely refined to enhance resonance and tone. The Fender and Fishman® - designed pickup amplifies the tight and clear tone of the newly designed parlour body, and the soundhole - mounted controls keep that classic look. A body - sensing pickup under the top enhances the soundboard's vibrations and can be mixed with the undersaddle S - Core pickup. The guitar features snowflake - shaped Pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, a rosette, a backstrip, and a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. It also comes with an ovangkol bridge, a 14 - fret fingerboard, a slim - taper mahogany neck, a bone nut and saddle, and a deluxe hardshell case. Specifications include a parlor body shape, satin urethane finish, 'C' shape neck profile, 15.75' (400 mm) fretboard radius, 25.3' (643 mm) scale length, 20 frets, Fender®/Fishman® Presys VT Plus Soundhole Pickup System, 1 - Ply Tiger Striped pickguard, Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings (.012 -.052 Gauges), open - back tuners, nickel hardware finish, and a deluxe black hardshell case with a black interior.
Using the Fender Paramount PS - 220E is a breeze. Just sit back, hold the guitar comfortably, and start strumming or picking. The soundhole - mounted controls let you easily adjust the sound. When it comes to the electronics, if you're plugging it into an amplifier, make sure the connections are secure. For tuning, use the open - back tuners. Just turn them gently until the strings are at the right pitch. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and moderate - temperature environment. After playing, wipe it down with a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly, and when they start to sound dull or lose their tone, replace them with Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, keep it in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it from damage.
