Alex PHW Records « Very nice instrument underrated »
Published on 05/10/11 at 06:11Designer: Parker USA
Top: solid cedar (Canada)
Sides and Back: Flamed Maple (USA)
Binding: Rosewood
Neck: Mahogany (3 parts)
Fingerboard and bridge: Ebony (Gabon)
Varnish: Japan
Assembly: China
To see all the details, see the review of five-number, it was very accurate. The only thing missing is assembled in China.
The finish is very good, it's a beautiful instrument that has a real personality. I grew up between Martin D28 and D35 of the 70s, so I'm a fan of guitars coming out of the box.
UTILIZATION
My current benchmark for guitar is the electro-EBG808 Maton TE. In short, I've never played on a guitar easier than this. We find that comparisons among good Fender electric.
So Parker is the nice, the neck is thin and comfortable access to acute rather easy. The box is small and very light so the grip is really easy.
SOUNDS
It easily adapts to any style. It sounds rather dry but well balanced with surprisingly deep bass given the size of his body.
The acoustic sound is excellent, and once connected, the quality of the system had its effect: it rocks. The 2 pickups (magnetic end of the shaft and the piezo bridge) can choose from a range of sounds truly monstrous.
OVERALL OPINION
I just acquired, is a favorite. I bought used in 1100 euros, so at that price the quality / price is totally unbeatable. I saw new between 1600 and 1800 euros, even at that price it's worth it because it competes very well with a Taylor 414CE 514CE even.
I'll tell you more after a few concerts!
