In what country does she makes? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...): Everywhere really: - Top: Solid Cedar Canada (from very good quality lines as very greenhouses) - Binding Rosewood ( shall adopt in all) - Back in the Saddle and fishplates flame United States - Bridge and Fingerboard ebony from Africa, both with inlaid mother of pearl of Mexico (no plastic on this guitar! ) - Nut Bone - Round 3 pieces of mahogany in India - Tte plate Rosewood - 19 frets - Grover Sta-Tite: Mechanical (97 series) gold heads - 14:1 - Electronics the magnetic micro: neck pickup (hum Canceling) (Fishman made in USA) - Piezo Fishman (Made in USA) - Weight: 2.03 kg - Supplied in tui Parker (very nice by the way) The whole is Dealer Locator on a small label the interior of the body). There is a button for the bass, one for treble and one for the mix of both pickups. On the rear edge there is a compartment for the battery, an output jack and XLR output. I signal that the finish is remarkable (even if it is RALIS in Japan as the varnish for that matter).

UTILIZATION

The handle is it pleasant? At this stage we can not say it&#39;s enjoyable because it&#39;s simple, you do not feel the stick in hand. It is very similar to a handle electric guitar (much more than a handle audio!). It has a thin profile, small and rounded (but not too much, it&#39;s not a telecaster ritchie kotzen!), It is at least as enjoyable as the handle of my parker fly deluxe wholesale (the best round that I I can have my opinion!). The key in bne adds a big plus to playing comfort CASC to acute (latest freight) is it easy? CASC Aiges to this fact with an ease rarely seen on a acoustic guitar. This handle is just a highway and for all styles. Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? It is excellent, the guitar weighs only 2 kilos you do not even feel you. Although the form of s owner shall adopt very pronounced (but that makes it unique and beautiful) they do not hurt and do not impair the comfort and exemplary guitar (the guitar body is grement vas). The guitar is a little less Paisse a standard jumbo guitar, this despite the propagation of sound in acoustics is excellent and ample. Do you get a good sound easy? I do not remember having had a bad sound or even as a sound means that electro acoustics with the Parker. To empty the sound has nowhere else but it&#39;s the grain that is unique, AC must be the merging of two different rosettes (a folk and gypsy guitar) and thus forms one of the p8!

SOUNDS

Appropriate are your musical style? Once connected you can get what you want! I dont have anything else to say more! Want folk? Ok, blues? Rock ok? Ok jazz? Ok preston reed kaki king or? Ok varietok of the gypsy? And Go! It&#39;s clear I&#39;ve never set default you do what you want and always with that grain absolutely unique! The knobs are very trsractifs and efficient! What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "fat ",....)? The sound of violin RESULTING employee. Maple for the case = big bass without predominant heterostandardized roundness. The sound is very warm and specific on it in any situation. Great precision and perfect balance of notes each mane of P8. What are the sounds you prfrez that hates you? I do not hates but I love playing preston reed kaki king or with, he was going very well (even in fesant of rhythmic tap on the box). I also like to thanks to its style and grain put me in another fashion gypsy time in this area and it makes misfortunes (what !!!!!). presence With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? Whether empty or branch you never know it but it is true that in a "real" acoustic amp it&#39;s magic lights ............

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? It is now several months I never left her (my fly began to take the dust!) I normment panou with her. I take for my lectures for the m&#39;viter lug the whole nine yards and I never had any problem that has either electronic or from the violin that does not move a hair! Have you tried many other models before acqurir? This is a guitar that has a "me" and all guitars are unfortunately not prtendre! I love big Martins, real gibson (a SJ 200 EC will fill me I think), and Taylor, Takamine, but some even if they are all excellent in their field they will say the Parker P8EN guitar and electro / acoustic The most unusual I have encountered both sound and visual. She knows how to do many things but is not made for a style more than another (which does not prevents it from having a single grain and character!). It&#39;s a guitar like a violin World. What is the specific feature you like best, the least? I am being very quickly attach part of AC quality of violin (the superb and Rosewood, not to mention the pearl etc etc. ..) and its charming sound. How do you report qualitprix? I think the price especially compared and justified the competition (before having a guitar that rank among the major brand to be reckoned in 2500 to 3000 euros!) But it is mainly thanks to because it is not Entirely made in the USA because in this case it would no longer all in the same price range! With exprience, you do again this election? ... Oh yes !!!!! This guitar is too little known in France (and elsewhere too I prsume) and it is a shame. An acoustic guitar does not chosen as an electric guitar and finally it is my opinion that it fills me whatever the situation. If you have the chance to try it there is great opportunity for you to leave with!

APRS adding more months of use.

I&#39;m still happy, despite the violin making extreme changes of rods (13-56 to 11-46) does not move a hair is always just.
The strings are 11-46 Savarez Argentine and gives greater precision and notes the considerable increase of cot Latin and solo guitar (flamenco, gypsy at the top).
It&#39;s always the perfect guitar world with his grain so special and unique.
Never to sell.
