Fender 2015 Paramount Series Guitar Specification

The Fender 2015 Paramount Series Guitar is crafted to deliver a high-quality acoustic experience, catering to both seasoned musicians and aspiring players. This series showcases meticulous attention to detail, with each guitar featuring an all-solid wood construction that significantly enhances tonal richness and resonance. The series includes models with various body shapes, such as the Dreadnought, Parlor, and Triple-0, each designed to cater to diverse playing styles and sound preferences.

The top wood is typically solid Sitka spruce, known for its strength and elasticity, providing a balanced and dynamic range of sound.

The fingerboard is crafted from rosewood, enhancing playability with its smooth texture.

Aesthetic elements include a vintage-inspired checkerboard purfling and rosette, as well as intricate mother-of-pearl inlays, which add to the visual appeal of the instruments. An open-pore finish allows the wood to breathe, promoting natural resonance and sustain. For amplified performances, the guitars feature the Fender/Fishman PM preamp system, which includes a tuner, frequency equalizer, and phase controls, ensuring reliable and versatile sound projection. The Paramount Series combines classic Fender craftsmanship with modern technology, making it a versatile choice for musicians seeking both acoustic purity and stage-ready performance.
