Known as a familiar staple of folk, bluegrass, and country music, the mandolin is the perfect addition for alternative bands, composers, and pop/rock singers looking to diversify their sound. The Fender Paramount PM-180E features a solid spruce top, an 'A' style mahogany body, and a parallel bracing for a bright and clear tone. For those looking to connect, it comes equipped with a Fishman® pickup, ideal for sitting perfectly in the mix with a full band or a small acoustic ensemble.
Other features include a comfortable neck profile, walnut fingerboard with snowflake inlays, open gear tuners with pearloid buttons, authentic bone nut, and a gig bag.
