At A Glance

The Fender PM-180E Mandolin Aged Cognac Burst Walnut Fingerboard infuses the quality of their Paramount Series into this fantastic mandolin. It features a bone nut, walnut bridge, and open-gear tuners. The "A" style body looks lovely thanks to the Cognac Burst finish but also serves up a healthy helping of fine sounds.

Features We Love:

Parallel Tone Bar Bracing

Bracing is an often overlooked fundamental when it comes to buying an instrument. It plays a huge part in giving an instrument its voice and character. Alongside the spruce top and mahogany body, the result is plenty of projection and definition that will have you coming back for more!

"V" Shape Neck

Many traditional mandolins can suffer from cumbersome feeling necks that can lead to discomfort when playing for extended periods of time. The "V" shape makes for a comfortable and enjoyable playing experience.

Fishman Pickup

When it comes time to play that flurry of notes that has you flying up and down the neck, the last thing you want is for your sound to get lost in the mix. The Fishman Implant Mandolin Pickup allows you to be heard in any band situation thanks to its well-voiced design.

Who Is It For?

The Fender PM-180E Mandolin is for anyone looking for an affordable and well-made mandolin. It would suit performers well thanks to its pickup and sounds right at home in any bluegrass, folk, country or indie music setting.

Highlights:

• Fender quality throughout
• A traditional look with fine details such as the snowflake inlays
• Fishman pickup makes it a great choice for live use
