Fender Paramount PO-220E Orchestra, Ovangkol Fingerboard, 3-Color Vintage Sunburst Overview

The Paramount PO-220E combines state-of-the-art craftsmanship with vintage-inspired appointments, delivering the best of both worlds. Built with the choice of a solid spruce or solid mahogany top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the PO-220E features an offset X-bracing pattern that has been carefully refined to optimize resonance and tone. A Fender- and Fishman-designed pickup amplifies the warm, mid-focused tone of the PO-220E’s newly designed orchestra 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 Sonicore pickup.

Updated cosmetics include snowflake-shaped pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, and a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. The PO-220E also features an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, slim-taper mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, and comes with a hardshell case.

To begin with, for what you pay for this guitar the quality is excellent. The setup is good the c shape neck makes it very easy to play. I can't comment on the electronics as I haven't played it through an amp yet but if the rest of the guitar is anything to go by then I'm sure they'll be fine. The case that comes with it is excellent so I'd definitely recommend this guitar. If you can try one out before you buy it just to see which model suits you. I didn't I just took a chance but I wasn't disappointed. It suits me just fine.
