Fender PD-220E Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar Natural

Fender PD-220E Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar Natural – The Paramount PD-220E combines state-of-the-art craftsmanship with vintage-inspired appointments, delivering the best of both worlds. Built with the choice of a solid spruce or solid mahogany top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the PD-220E features an offset X-bracing pattern that has been carefully refined to optimize resonance and tone. A brand-new Fender and Fishman®-designed Presys VT Plus pickup amplifies the full, balanced tone of the PD-220E’s dreadnought body shape, while the soundhole-mounted controls preserve the vintage aesthetics. Under the top, a body-sensing pickup enhances the soundboard’s vibrations which can then be blended with the undersaddle S-Core pickup.

Updated cosmetics include snowflake-shaped pearloid fingerboard inlays, feathered purfling, rosette, and backstrip, and a Black or Tiger Stripe pickguard. The PD-220E also features an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, slim-taper mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, and comes with a hardshell case.

Fishman electronics bring the plugged-in power

Plug in the Fender PD-220E and you’ll open a door to a possibility of plentiful tone-shaping options given its modern-designed electronics. With a Fishman Sonitone Plus Soundhole Pickup System, your dreadnought sails tonal waters equipped with tone controls mounted directly under the soundhole. That means vintage aesthetics are preserved while offering you the modern, rich tone of a Fender dreadnought. Under the spruce top lies a body-sensing pickup that blends excellently with the under-saddle pickup for a full range of impeccably captured sonic vibrations.

Uber-playable “C”-shaped neck

Wrap your hand around the PD-220E’s neck and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. That’s because this dreadnought features a legendary “C”-shaped neck made from mahogany. Run up and down the fretboard, and you’ll comfortably play everything from ringing leads to sonorous chords. Take it from us: this guitar will feel like an old friend!

Distinctive dreadnought tone

There’s no doubt about it: dreadnoughts form the lifeblood of many acoustic guitarist’s lineups here. And the Fender PD-220E’s dreadnought body boasts powerful projection and tones filled with percussive punch. Dreadnoughts have landed themselves in the hands of some of music’s greatest musicians, spanning rock to bluegrass and even punk. Likewise, the PD-220E will feel at home in a variety of musical situations, strutting its stuff with a thick, deep tone. Additionally, when you make a dreadnought from spruce and mahogany then tie it all together with a quartersawn scalloped “X” bracing like the PD-220E, you’re crafting an instrument that brings warmth, richness, and booming full-bodied majesty to the table.
