Fishman electronics bring the plugged-in power





Plug in the Fender PO-220E and you’ll open a door to a possibility of plentiful tone-shaping options given its modern-designed electronics. With a Fishman Sonitone Plus Soundhole Pickup System, your orchestra sails tonal waters equipped with tone controls mounted directly under the soundhole. That means vintage aesthetics are preserved while offering you the modern, rich tone of a Fender Orchestra. Under the spruce top lies a body-sensing pickup that blends excellently with the under-saddle pickup for a full range of impeccably captured sonic vibrations.





Uber-playable "C"-shaped neck





Wrap your hand around the PO-220E’s neck and you'll be pleasantly surprised. That's because this Orchestra features a legendary "C"-shaped neck made from mahogany. Run up and down the fretboard, and you'll comfortably play everything from ringing leads to sonorous chords. Take it from us at Sweetwater: this guitar will feel like an old friend!
