Manufacture Korea.

-Bridge Fishman (finally Wilkinson with Fishman piezo in it).
22 frets.

Right-Channel ... end, fast, narrow and almost flat. A massacre.

A volume-all pickups, one volume for the piezzos, a tone all microphones. 5 position selector for the pickups (HSS config), so no surprise there but a small 3-position switch allows the passage of any microphones or any piezo mix 2. So, here it gets harder because by positron of this switch, the knobs change depending ... I have not completely understood. of way, me, that's all thoroughly.

- The microphones are all signed and it sounds Parker.

- The violin is generally excellent (mechanical including oil bath) and the finish is ifféprochable.


UTILIZATION

The handle? A slaughter, I tell you ... I have several scratches and have tried a hundred. This handle is the handle. Except 22 and not 24 boxes. Although access is very good, no gene for access to all wars.

Touching, moving, freight, key, s it all excellent.

The guitar is just over 2 kg and that, that's good too.
I do quickdraw the Les Paul for special occasions, given the versatility of Parker and more, there's no comparison.



SOUNDS

While his side, I play everything. As a group, we played with the times (always with a smile, eh?), I needed a Start, a Les Paul, a Jackson, a folk or a dry ... I have them, it's not the issue (!!!), but a practical standpoint, all in one, that's fine. And there was not a duck (reminder for Dummies: The duck is flying, walking, running, swimming ... But he does everything wrong!). This guitar can do everything, without imitating. And besides, it gives confidence.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2000. A little dashed at baseline and then assiduously. It has not yet been refrettée or surfaced yet, I had periods of 2 to 3 hours of play per day + gigs and repeated ...
No breakdown. Spitting, bellows or pinging.
Must say I'm careful.
The only downside about it: no fly box of origin. And no way to have a signed Parker ... The importer has changed 15 times and the current plants located in Pakistan Parker alongside those of Gibson ... So I opted for a standard tweed Stagg (who perfectly fulfills its purpose, for that matter) less flashy.

I have owned a lot of stuff. This is the one that gave me desire to play.
I do NOT sell. The les paul, yes. Stratum also, if necessary. But this, ever. For all the technical reasons listed above and all others that we have woven together. Hard to explain, this guitar is like an extension (I know, bo ... This is me, so ...)

I do it again this election. Better, I'll try to find a test for the Fly (I'll see what this button is carbon ...)
