Re: Bought a Parker today...
Nooo you got the bastardized version!!!
eh just kidding. I don't consider those real parkers though. Those are the import models. USA parkers have stainless frets, carbon fiber fretboard, carbon/glass fiber neck back etc. The necks are just not made the same way, completely different animal.
How is it though? I'm kinda curious. Parker was taken over by Washburn just recently and they decided to do that Import line. I was real happy about their decision to do that. How much did you pay for it?

Re: Bought a Parker today...
Yeah, I know its not the real deal...Ive never even played a real parker. Im sure all that carbonised stuff makes it better. It actually feels real good, comfortable slim neck, fast insane low action, the pickups are very smooth distorting...the peizo pup doesnt really sound that good, but Ill have to do some tweaking and try it again. I paid 199 for it, its got a couple dings and no trem bar (Ill bet that will be fun to find!) But Im sure I can make a hundred on it if I dont want to keep it. Im even considering selling the neck. Im sure someone out there has broke one. And I understand the peizo goes out...Ill sell that puppy too! It all about the benjamins......
