Fender Paramount Series Manuel utilisateur
THE PARAMOUNT STORY
At Fender, we pride ourselves on crafting acoustic
instruments of the highest quality and performance.
It’s a promise to which we’ve been fully committed since
the very beginning. We proudly present Paramount
as the pinnacle of more than a half-century of Fender
acoustic excellence. As the proud owner of a Paramount
acoustic instrument, you’ve ocially joined an exclusive
group of players—discerning artists in search of not only
unique and expressive acoustic sound. With Paramount,
we’re excited to unveil the nest acoustic features we
have to oer.
The inspiration behind the Paramount acoustic line
is twofold. We wanted to bring to life an instrument that
represents our desire to create and innovate, but also
revisit the esteemed heritage of 1960s Fender acoustics.
This history is boldly represented in many of the stunning
features you see before you, from your guitar’s classic
body shapes to artful styling and appointments. The line
also reimagines many of the features of the original
Concert Tone banjo series, which we’ve expanded to
include a breadth of traditional acoustic body shapes.
From the checkerboard puring and binding to the
unique mother of pearl and abalone inlays, no detail
is too ornate and no feature is overlooked in the
construction of these playable pieces of art.
We hope you enjoy your Paramount acoustic and hope
you’ll grow your own acoustic legacy for years to come.
