Triple-0 Body Shape
The PM-3 Paramount Limited Adirondack features a Triple-0 body shape, which sits midway between Fender's PM-1 and PM-2 sizes offering a restrained midrange that's more balanced. This elegantly curved body shape features a nipped in waist that accommodates a more comfortable playing style, as it can easily fit the player's knee when seated. The PM-3 is also equipped with a soft cutaway design, which provides easier access to the higher frets, allowing fluid hand movement across the whole fingerboard.
Combination of Tonewoods
This stunning electro acoustic guitar is constructed with a solid AA Adirondack spruce top, which delivers an extremely lively tone, along with an extended frequency range and enhanced dynamic response that responds to every nuance of your playing. This is combined with an all-solid Indian rosewood body which adds a balanced, highly articulate and responsive tone to the mix, for an overall amazing sound. This choice of high quality tonewoods is finished with a black and white checkerboard binding and rosette, which adds a touch of elegance to the overall appearance.
Comfortable Neck Profile
Along with its stunning looks and crisp tone, the Fender PM-3 Paramount features a "C"-shaped neck profile, which leaves a small pocket of space between the palm of the player's hand and the guitar neck, providing ultimate comfort and easier access to the frets. This ergonomic neck shape is the most common type of profile, due to its comfort and ability to accommodate most playing styles. This particular neck profile is common with Fender, and allows the player's fingers to move freely across the fingerboard, for optimum performance.
Real Bone Nut
This stunning electro acoustic also accommodates a real bone nut, which maintains its authentic appearance and offers excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer, whilst delivering a very balanced tone.
Fishman & Fender-designed PM Preamp
Players can also benefit from the on-board Fishman and Fender-designed PM preamp, which is specifically voiced for the Triple-0 shape to offer you the best sound possible. This innovative preamp instantly responds to playing dynamics while bringing out the guitar’s most subtle tonal nuances for a clean performance. If that's not enough, this unit also features a built-in tuner, along with a host of control options including Volume, Bass, Treble and Phaser.
Additional Features
The Fender PM-3 Paramount takes its inspiration from Fender’s ‘60s acoustic instrument designs and early 20th-century motifs to provide you with a stunning guitar that is made for the spotlight. In addition, a thin lacquer finish allows the body to resonate freely, making the instrument breathe with lively tone. Includes deluxe hardshell case and humidifier.
