It is a high quality Corenne we l.
22 boxes of a handle screwed Saddle fairly flat and wide, without falling into either of excs. The hoop could not be more enjoyable, a rare perfection, agrment a rosewood fingerboard (rosewood) soft and well finished trs.
The body is said frne "slectionnquot; on the brochure from Parker, and I want to believe them: the wood is superb. The body is in two parts assembled Fawn symtrique ( the veins form a V at the collage), worked so that it is both an end under the right arm (for righties) and wider leg.

Question everything electronic we go: two from the simple stick and a double in bridge. The three are stamped "Parker", are they homemade or rebadge?
No matter, they agree perfectly with the violin.

As is often the Parker was right dose of a piezo, the P-38 does not droge RULES FISHMAN with an easel with five sensors. FISHMAN said is actually a good thought WILKINSON enriched pizos and then passes under the control of s Matre sensors.
To continue a few moments on the bridge, it s&#39;avre that fawn vintage tremolo (Stratocaster-like) is a driver of the Wilkinson / Gotoh 510T, enriched with 5 sensors pizo: you know everything!

The dbattement the tremolo is pretty strait: a is in no way a floyd-rose!
Do not attempt to DLIR as you can afford on a floating tremolo if ... clang! Farewell the ropes.

Under potentiomtres I want the whole family: gnral Volume, Tone gnrale, volume pizo, slecteur 5 positions and a small (but strong) toggle-switch 3 positions to select only the microphones / microphone + pizo / pizo alone.
My only complaint is against the will tristres caps soft plastic knobs gray / black ... not drink but when the sea even, has stain.

What type of race?
Dja but I said, young man (or woman) ... screwed in with 4 points rglage the truss-rod base of the handle.

For what is the firm let CHARACTERISTICS: 9 / 10
With beautiful knobs c&#39;tait the caps 10/10

UTILIZATION

The handle is pretty close to what we observe on the Parker United States.
I tend to say that I prfre that of my P-38 the beam of a Les Paul, but both are friendly and the use is not the same. We are in friendly: fairly flat, a little wide, not too steep ... caleons is like, if your size is for you.

Access in acute simple enough, simply get your hand down the sleeve: as you will not encounter any insurmountable obstacle you will come the same conclusion as me.
Ah ... you expect my conclusion on the handle? OK, then yes, you descend to the bottom without ppin.

Ergonomics sign Parker: purpose, lightweight and handy.
Parker form, typically. It is well in hand, let go quickly and will not kill your shoulders frles famlique guitarist. This is a guitar that should appeal to women, as it says no sexism: I&#39;m not one (I know) and I feel comfortable. Against by a male is not like a large Les Paul with EMG above. But it is a guitar to move the fingers, if it&#39;s just to make palm-mute is a shame. M&#39;enfin, do not give a painting a ballerina tutu haltrophile Soviet. (What I m&#39;gare?)

Use copy: 10/10

SOUNDS

In my lan to "return to roots", I started to acquire an Epiphone Valve Junior. I see you coming with your comments "What we amp because of its dwarf this clown?" Hola, patience my friends ... Or that little combo modest 5 OUATT zalampes given me want to autrechose tter as nag. Who says autrechose does not bal-musette and forcment varitoches, blues-rock and rock couillu are also possibilities. No, the times of Dick Rivers are not yet on the agenda, but who knows? Obviousness of all the little P-38 will adapt.

So grattoune a rock. Oasis rock nice fawn (nan, I&#39;m kidding, it&#39;s Paupe a) the rock so nice variations a little wild, she displayed a beautiful polyvlance, without sacrificing time row on the altar of diversity. It was not beautiful??

In short: two pounds of rock slamming tlstratode, a few grams of punch with the powerful bridge pickup and an acoustic background with pizo. Jazz, rock, blues, fusion, feunque, etc ...

I admit I fell for the slamming of its pickups simple but I do not hide my pleasure to have a touch of roundness with double bob &#39;.

Ten out of ten in full for a good instrument.

OVERALL OPINION

Since when do you use?
Since not long enough for me unfortunately.

I was among the few nice pices of mimine violin (the most ugly too). The P-38 is a beautiful animal, not too wild, but not too fiery dot of a certain personality.

What I like ergonomics, design and slamming that puts a nice slap to the United States a few Fender p I try. It is only my opinion, but I confess frankly that I prfre offer me three copies of the Parker one US Strat. Question and got intrt financial as good (and even better) for less, the calculation is done quickly.

Quality price ratio? -Norm!

With exprience ... I do not know, what I know is that I have AIM before!
