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.
