On 2002-10-23, Parsley gave this Parker Electric Guitar a 5...(2921)
Purchase: Bought the guitar in "Just music", Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK. Was on the look out for a new guitar to record a solo album with... started playing through various guitars until the Parker caught my eye... picked it up for £595 (well actually only £205 coz i traded a Fender Strat and Seagull s6 as part of the deal......)
Pros: The neck is notably good, incredible for finger tapping and it *wants* you to string bend! It cries out. Machine heads (grover) are holding up well and keep good tuning. The body is light and well crafted, ash i believe. Piezo is beautiful to use, and the alnico bucker has a serious kick. Use both simultaneously for huge almost chorus-like sounds!
Cons: Hmmm. well i love it and all but unless you have an acoustic *and* electric guitar you won't experience the excellent concept of the stereo jack lead
Quality: Smoothly built, no obvious problems, beautiful finish (mine is in a gibson-esque tobacco sunburst)
Summary: In several years i have had the pleasure of using Squire, Epiphone, Fender, EB, Dean, Crafter and Seagull guitars on recordings. This one is the best yet. i say stand out from the crowd. There are to many fender, 'phone and les paul players.so invest in something new: parker, maverik, BC rich. Get noticed!
