The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   This all-solid Paramount Series PM-2E Deluxe acoustic electric guitar offers many legacy design elements of classic ’60s models, including checkerboard purfling and rosette, pickguard shape, and Abalone and Mother-of-Pearl "Concert Tone" fretboard inlays. Even with this art deco look, this guitar still retains its footing in modern design. The Fender-and Fishman-designed PM preamp system is specifically voiced for this guitar's Parlor body shape, ensuring complete tonal control and variation. Using solid East Indian RW back and sides and a solid grade-A Sitka Spruce top, this guitar is the perfect platform of self expression, accentuated by only the finest materials. This all-solid construction contributes to that unique voice, with a body that vibrates freely and resonates more naturally. Inspired by art deco design and inlaid around the body and down the back, the black-and-white checkers offset the natural beauty of the PM-2E Deluxe tone woods. Most importantly, they evoke a true old-school acoustic vibe, matched with playability for any occasion. Adding to the "art nouveau" vibe of the PM-2E Deluxe are its elegant inlays, constructed from a fine combination of Mother-of-Pearl and Abalone for a truly awe-inspiring look. Designed to the tune of an early 20th-century masterpiece, it's a vintage touch made accessible to the player of today. 
Complete with tuner, frequency (bass, middle and treble) and phase controls, this collaboration in preamp design is specially voiced for this Parlor body shape. Not only does this special engineering offer versatile ways to fine-tune your tone, but also imparts an elegant retro look reminiscent of old-school radio knobs.
