Anyone know anything about these guitars? The electronics package is nice. Good woods.

EXACTLY! The ingredients are fantastic, plays great, sounds fantastic plugged in. I can get this one used for $400 in great shape with a super case.

Looks kinda distorted...


If you wanna distort a guitar, this one's better...


Also, if you want hybrid electronics and other doodahs,
You can get an Ibanez Montage for cheaper...

I own one, and I ain't telling everyone to run out and get one. It's Okay, but...

And it's still easier to play (and sounds better) than an Esteban!

I'm sorry, but Parkers always looked to me like three different people designed one guitar without being able to see what the others are doing, then it was then assembled by someone in a different country that couldn't read the instructions.

[speaking of the Montage, not the Parker]

"It's Okay, but..." The reverb is okay, the notch filters are useful, the chorus is a waste of a button.
The Gain is good for "Into the Black" and the "Star Spangled Banner" but otherwise...

I have not taken it outside yet, but I will! That's what I bought it for.
