Parker Guitars announce two new guitars that will be featured at the Summer NAMM show in Indianapolis. Parker will also be introducing a new color to the current P36. The P36 was launched in July at the NAMM show in Nashville, Tennessee.
The first of the new models, the P44, has a mahogany body and maple bolt-on neck. It has an ebony fingerboard and Grover 18:1 tuners. The P44 is manufactured with dual humbuckers along with coil tap, and a Fishman Piezo System. Available in Natural, Trans Red, and Black, the P44 has a list price of $1099.
The second new addition to the Parker line up is the PM20G, which is similar to the existing PM20. According to Music and Sound Retailer magazine, the PM20 is rated the 4th best selling guitar over $700. The PM20G is a single cutaway with a gold top, a mahogany body and mahogany set neck. It has Parker Stinger Pickups and a list price of $899.
Lastly, Parker will offer its existing P36 in Trans Red. It is currently available in Natural or Blonde. The P36 has all the signature capabilities of the high-end Parker Fly in a beautiful ash body with a maple bolt-on neck. “The reaction to our new import line of guitars has by far exceeded our expectations. The expansion of the product line is the result of dealer input and consumer request. We are extremely excited to offer these new products and still continue the tradition of Parker excellence,” explains John Page, Parker Division Manager.
