What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Solid Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone
Solid rosewood back and sides Warm tone with long sustain
Bound ebony fretboard Luxurious looks and focused tone
Fender/Fishman PM Preamp Specially voiced for each body size

U.S.-designed Paramount series acoustic instruments are finely crafted and specially voiced to bring your artistic vision to life. Each all-solid guitar offers many legacy design elements of classic '60s models, including special checkerboard binding and rosettes, unique pickguard shape, and abalone and mother-of-pearl "Concert Tone" fretboard inlays. And even with this art deco look, Paramount instruments still retain their footing in modern design. All-new Fender- and Fishman-designed PM preamp systems are equipped with specially voiced for each body shape in the series, ensuring complete tonal control and variation.

Available in an elegant natural or vintage sunburst finish, the Paramount Deluxe Dreadnought features not only thoughtful vintage appointments, but also the craftsmanship of a truly high-performing instrument. Crafted from premium all-solid tone woods such as upgraded East Indian rosewood back and sides and Sitka spruce top and equipped with quartersawn scalloped "X" bracing, the Deluxe dreadnought is designed with freely vibrating, resonant tone in mind. It also features a fast-playing "C"-shaped mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, both of which are designed to accommodate the most demanding playing styles.

I was waiting to review this guitar for almost 10 months. Just to see if I was really going to like it. Well now that I am going to review it the price has dropped dramatically. I wish I had waited to purchase it. I went as far as to call fender c.s. to investigate the price drop. the outcome was that the fender pm models are being discontinued. well with that out of the way. I love this guitar. It is a solid build with great material and electronics. It is built from the same materials as my Martin d35. of course with different bracing it has more of mellow Taylor sound to it. I set the action really low, and amazingly. It has no fret buzz what so ever. Once again it is a great guitar at a super great price now. I paid a g for mine. Now at 699! jump on it!
