Anybody here play / own a Parker guitar??

I have one of the lower-end ones, a P-44

I bought it online without even trying one, but there's alot of things about it that I really like! so many sounds from the 2 humbuckers (coil-splitable) and the piezo... the upper horn is a little "pokey" when playing sitting down sometimes though :lol:

And I should say that it is still the way it came from the factory setup, bar a set of 10's being put on it - played great straight from the box :twisted:

The photo is from when I first got it new, so excuse the little tag on the pot!

I love 'em.
Mine is an oddball Fly Classic from '02. It is a custom hardtail with factory Duncan pickups instead of Dimarzios.
Sounds like the best SG you ever heard along with usable acoustic tones.

I like to look at them.
Tried the tele like ones, the P36 http://www.guitarshop.net/parker/p36_small.jpg and the Southern Nightfly http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ZrXCrBU7SMv46M:http://www.guitarshop.net/parker/southernnightfly.jpg, but didn't care for the piezzo, and the P36's neck was way too thin, the nightfly's was even thinner and total flat. The neck normally is the dealmaker for me, so I passed.
But still like'em as eye-candy.
