THE ANATOMY OF PERFECT SOUND
EFFORTLESS PLAYABILITY
Ranging from 3-1/2 to 6 pounds and impossibly
slender, Parker guitars give many people the
impression that our instruments are made from some
kind of space-age plastic. The truth is, we use
lightweight tone woods of the highest quality and
reinforce them with a layer of composite that's thinner
than the paint job. The result of this unique
combination is a guitar that's responsive, lightweight
and perfectly balanced while sitting or standing, with
no dead spots or unevenness in tone.

QUICK-CHANGE ARTISTRY
Large hall? Micro stage? Enclosed studio?
The smart jack on our active preamp senses
your cable type (stereo or mono) and either
splits the electric and acoustic sounds and
sends them to separate amps, or combines
them and plays both through a single
amplifier. Our mixer circuit allows
volumes and tones of the electric and
acoustic sounds to be mixed on the fly.

MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES
Parker's combination of DiMarzio
magnetic pickups and Fishman
possible to produce powerful electric guitar tones and intricate,
full-bodied acoustic guitar tones. Parker, Fishman,
DiMarzio
®
worked hand-in-hand to develop both the unique
pickups and the unique mounting systems used to attach and
adjust them. Our pickups are mounted firmly to the body with
pole-piece screws instead of plastic rings, springs, and screws
that float the pickups in oversized cavities. The results of this
solid connection are superior tone and less chance of pickup
squeal at high volume.

PERFECT PITCH
Our high-performance vibrato system can be
quickly adjusted to behave like a fixed bridge,
bend-down only, or floating bridge (bending
both up and down). The bridge pivots like liquid
silk on ball bearings.

a slender, lightweight neck that ensures

optimum resonance from the body and neck
tone woods and resists the warping that throws
lesser guitars out of tune within a year or two.
Our patented neck design also eliminates the
clumsy heel for smoother, more comfortable
upper-fretboard access.
EVEN RESPONSE
Quite possibly the smoothest, fastest-playing neck in the business, ours
is constructed from a solid piece of basswood or mahogany. With bridge
components of cast aluminum and stainless steel, it's a bulletproof
package that's easy to adjust. The paper-thin triaxial carbon/glass-fiber
reinforcement supports the vibrant wood structure, resulting in an amazingly
responsive and stable, yet incredibly lightweight, guitar with even tonal
response. It's a patented construction you won't find anywhere else.
