5 Reasons To Play Acoustic Guitar For those about to unplug...


There are a ton of reasons to play an acoustic guitar. Before you get started, however, the main question might be which guitar will accompany you on your musical journey.
To help you decide, you may want to consider Fender's Paramount Series. With a line that includes three different models in Standard and Deluxe versions, the Paramount guitars are perfect for any pursuit.
Below, we’ve listed five reasons to pick up a Paramount.

1. Spontaneous Creativity
Inspiration can strike anywhere. After all, some of the most timeless songs were written in the backseat of a tour van, or even sitting on the couch while aimlessly watching television.
The Paramount Series is made to be that traveling companion, with sturdy all-solid wood (East Indian rosewood back and sides on the Deluxe models, and premium solid mahogany on Standard models) that can handle any situation--from the backyard barbecue to the beachside bonfire, from the studio to the stage.

2. They Look Great
While maintaining elements of modern design, the Paramount Series still has a stylish classic vibe. Just look at that checkerboard purfling and rosette; not to mention the abalone and mother-of-pearl inlays. These guitars will look good in any scenario, for sure.
3. Made for Everyone
There are three sizes in the Paramount Series--DreadnoughtParlor and Triple-0. That means people of all shapes can comfortably play a Paramount. Some prefer the smaller Parlor, some would rather the bigger Dreadnought. Want an acoustic with a single cutaway? Grab the Triple-0. There’s a Paramount guitar ready to roll, no matter how large or small you are.

4. They're Versatile
Learning to play on an oboe or piano is a pretty specialized endeavor. But with a guitar such as one in the Paramount Series, you can play a plethora of tunes with just a few chords. Begin with the G, C and D chords, and you’re off and running. Heck, throw in an E-minor and you might have an entire songbook at your fingertips.

5. Stress Reliever
It’s been proven that playing guitar can help keep you on top of your brain game. Carrying a guitar with you ensures that you’ve got an easy way to break through stressful barriers and just get lost in some music. Whether you're craving a hard-charging riff or an easy-like-Sunday-morning rhythm, Paramount guitars offer a great way to work out the mental kinks.
