The Paramount PS-220E combines modern craftsmanship with vintage-inspired appointments, offering the best of both worlds. Built with a solid cedar top, paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the PS-220E features an X-bracing pattern that has been carefully refined to optimise resonance and tone. A pickup designed by Fender and Fishman amplifies the tight and articulate tone of the newly designed parlor body shape of the PS-220E, while the controls mounted in the sound hole maintain the vintage aesthetic. Under the top, a body-detecting pickup enhances the vibrations of the soundboard, which can then be blended with the Sonicore pickup beneath the saddle.
Updated cosmetics include pearloid snowflake inlays, feather purfling, rosette, and back binding. The PS-220E also features an ovangkol bridge and a fingerboard with 14 frets, a slim mahogany neck, nut and saddle, and comes with a hard case.
