Mahogany body, maple fingerboard, 22 frets ...
Parker 2 humbucker, 1 vol. 1 tone with push-pull (to change the pickups in single coil).
Tune O Matic bridge type ...

UTILIZATION

The guitar is very balanced and lightweight (just over 3 kg!). The handling is very simple, the handle is rather flat and wide, thus facilitating the games Shred!
The access to the latest box is simplified by the body-neck junction.
The look is really typed Parker, for those who do not know, well, Parker guitars, this is not the guitar man in the world, so when you want to stand out a bit, and it is well not bad!
Operation is as easy sitting and standing.
Configuration is very simple microphone and the ability to split the micro range provides excellent sound ...

SOUNDS

As I said before, this a very versatile instrument, it has 6 positions ... Large sounds so "Les Paul", sounds more distinctive Fender ...
The microphone, easel, filled his role perfectly, however the neck pickup is a little too round for my taste, hard to explain, but it really deserves better. For me the only "B flat" of this guitar. However it has a lot of sustain, which is not displease me (blues rock so it's nice Gary Moore !!!)...
Personally I think seriously invest in a new pair of micro, certainly Seymour ... Same type as the more expensive models of the mark (JB & Jazz in the neck position ...).
Apart from that, it is still really pleased with this scratch! Whether in the light or in heavy metal distortion! For the solo, it's the highway! Do you plaizzze!

OVERALL OPINION

Look nice, sober colors, simple setup and effective, good quality materials chosen and the violin ...
Comfort, versatility and quality are at the Parker appointment. The only downside for me is the neck pickup with distortion, which is not really to my taste ... But a range of excellent entered, in a brand that is not worn all budgets. So all the people who have already played one day on a high-end Parker (fly..) Will not be disappointed to find I think a guitar of this quality, which is really in the spirit of Parker.
And considering the price of this guitar, it can not regret much!
It's really, I think, a guitar goes everywhere I mean by that the guy who plays the metal, the P-42 can. As for those who are more rock and blues, can not be disappointed either, as in sound, as the look.
For me it is an instrument consumed without moderation!
