The Fender Paramount PS-220E brings together modern craftsmanship and 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 is carefully tuned for great resonance and tone. A pickup co - designed by Fender and Fishman® amplifies the clear and tight sound of the newly - designed parlour body. The soundhole - mounted controls keep that classic look. Under the top, a body - sensing pickup works with the undersaddle S - Core pickup to enhance the sound. The updated look includes snowflake - shaped Pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, along with a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. It also has an ovangkol bridge, a 14 - fret fingerboard, a slim - taper mahogany neck, a bone nut and saddle, and comes with a hardshell case.

Using the Fender PS - 220E is a breeze. Just tune it up with the open - back tuners. If you're playing live or in a studio, use the soundhole - mounted controls to adjust the sound from the Fender®/Fishman® pickup. When not in use, always put it back in the deluxe black hardshell case to protect it from damage. Keep it in a place with stable temperature and humidity to prevent the wood from warping. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep the tone bright. And if you want to change the strings, use the Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings for the best result.
