Fender Paramount PD-220E Dreadnought A/E 3 Tone Vintage Sunburst W/CThe Paramount PD-220E combines state-of-the- art craftsmanship with vintage-inspired appointments, delivering the best of both worlds. Built with a solid spruce paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the PD-220E features an offset X-bracing pattern that has been carefully refined to optimize resonance and tone. A brand-new Fender- and Fishman-designed Sonitone Plus pickup amplifies the full, balanced tone of the dreadnought body shape, while the soundhole-mounted controls preserve the vintage aesthetics. Under the top, a body-sensing pickup enhances the soundboard's vibrations which can then be blended with the undersaddle pickup.
Updated cosmetics include snowflake-shaped pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, and a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. The PD-220E also features an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, slim-taper mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, and comes with a hardshell case.
