UTILIZATION
Excellent handle, nickel bracing, access to acute impeccable, weight evenly distributed, no tuning required, except that I had to screw a chouille bridge pickup was too close to the strings for my taste ...
I agree with those who say that the P42 is not meant to be played sitting down, but was offset by an unusual look that deserves to be left standing: p
SOUNDS
Guitar very versatile.
The humbucker at neck is a bit "vague", but I never use it alone.
Combined with the bridge pickup it's a bit like the sound of a Jazzmaster Mex.
The humbucker is powerful but not too much. Unlike other reviews I find it too soft for the metal but do not care, I will not play: p For heavy rock sounds quite like Muse and Rage it goes perfectly.
I plan to change the neck pickup with a Seymour Duncan SP90 and the bridge pickup with a Kent Armstrong Motherbucker because it is the sound I want, but not to question the quality of microphones Parker are very good.
I put a review later after modifications.
After modification: so I installed a Seymour Duncan SHPR-1 P-Rails to the handle and a Kent Armstrong Motherbucker the easel is a real killer! on the other hand had to change the 3-position switch and a selector to 6 positions to enjoy a max potential of these two microphones (one could find twenty combinations ...). Very happy with the job of my luthier, many more fishing and combination of two microphones provides exciting opportunities!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had ten months I believe, I have not tried it before buying ... I got it on eBay for cheap, so I took it and told me that I sell it at the same price if it does not suit me ... and I'm thrilled!
