Well-known as a familiar mainstay in folk, bluegrass, and country music, the mandolin is the perfect addition for alternative bands, singer-songwriters and pop/rock players looking to diversify their sound. The Fender Paramount PM-180E features a spruce top, mahogany "A"- style body, and parallel tone bar bracing for a bright, clear tone. For those looking to plug in, it comes equipped with a Fishman® pickup ideal for sitting perfectly in the mix with a full band or small acoustic ensemble.
Other features include a comfortable neck profile, a walnut fingerboard with snowflake inlays, open-gear tuners with pearloid buttons, genuine bone nut, and a gig bag.
