Fenders Paramount Parlor in Vintage Sunburst Finish
General overview:
Fender's Paramount series consists of solid Dreadnought, 000- and Parlor models. All models of the line-up are either in the standard version with solid mahogany body or as deluxe version with elaborate optical refinements as well as back and sides made of solid East Indian rosewood.
Noble: Parlor-body made of high quality East Indian rosewood
The special features of the PM-2 Deluxe Parlor Vintage Sunburst:
The Paramount PM-2 Parlor in the deluxe version represents the sound image resulting from the solid Sitka spruce top and the hand-selected rosewood with clear trebles and tight basses. All in all, the instrument provides an astonishingly powerful sound with a pleasantly agile playing feeling, not least thanks to the mahogany neck in the "C" profile;
Vintage meets modern: The PM pickup system in the frame of the Paramount Deluxe Parlor.
All models in the series are equipped with the PM-2 pickup system specially designed in collaboration with Fishman. The on-board electronics have an integrated tuner and a 3-band tone control for perfect tuning of your own sound. Of course, the Deluxe version was equipped with some eye-catchers in the form of a checkerboard binding, classic Fender 40s headstock and Concert Tone inlays in the ebony fingerboard.
Last but not least, a hardshell case and humidifer are included!

Pleased with the instrument, which was purchased as a travel guitar, and for that purpose is ideal, attractive styling and came well set up, however, the very very thick gloss coating on both the guitar and the neck is the one downside for me because it gives the instrument a plastic feel (rather than wood)
