Fender usually ranks well amongst best guitars, but let’s see how this Paramount PM-3 model compares for best acoustic-electric guitars…

Fender Paramount PM-3 Review

Acoustic-Electric Guitar Features:

  • Mahogany back and sides
  • Grade “A” Sitka spruce top
  • The Mahogany neck 
  • Ebony fingerboard
  • Fishman-designed preamp

Mirroring high end acoustic guitar and mid level prices the PM-3 has a rich warm tone that is strong and balanced designed for a comfortable play and sharp attack. The Mahogany and Ebony features are stunning, which can also be found on the guitar in this Taylor GS Mini review.

An ideal guitar for the professional singer songwriter, the PM-3 carries a big sound in a guitar that is not quite as big as a full sized dreadnought guitar but more of regular guitar than that of the parlor guitars. If the price is out of your budget, Fender makes a cheaper model that we discuss in our Fender FA100 review.

 

9.6 Expert Score

While the Fender electric guitar dominates the brands reputation in the best of ways, the Fender acoustic guitar line is becoming every more impressive, especially with the Paramount PM-3 Standard.
