Fender Paramount PM-3
Product no: 9000-0030-0772 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Fender is adding this Limited Edition PM-3 Triple-O electro-acoustic guitar to its Paramount series. This model has an all-solid construction but what makes it really special is its Adirondack top. This type of hardwood is fairly rigid which means it can handle plenty of volume and has excellent resonance. The back and sides are made of rosewood which not only look great, they add warmth to the overall sound. A Deluxe hardshell case and a humidifier are included.

Paramount PM-3

Other notable design features include the headstock and the ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl position markers. The string nut has a width of 45 mm which is a little wider than those found on most other steel-string guitars. The benefit of this is that it's easier to pluck individual strings without hitting the wrong ones accidentally. If you already play a classical guitar, this special Fender will feel instantly familiar.
