parkers

[sumitomo]

Hi,has anyone ever played any of the parkers(high or low end) and what did you think of them. Thanks Sumi.

I played a Parker Fly Mojo and was impressed with the playability and the weight - I really like light guitars, so there was an immediate attraction because of that. The guitar body shape does nothing for me as my taste is more traditional - Dot, LP, Stat are my desire.

Since I am relatively new at playing, so I cannot provide you with any real technical review. Nice guitar, better than many I've played, but I would never consider buying one for my own use.

If I recall correctly the one I played was about $3200. I've seen them up to $7200, so I guess I played a mid-range

Didn't Spudball once chime in about Parkers?

I like the shape, but, then again for the longest time, I thought Teles were butt-ugly.

They still are, but in a so ugly it's cute like your dog kinda way.

I want one.

I want one.

I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought that. For some unknown reason I now find myself drawn to them when I'm at the music store.

Sumi, the only one I was familiar with was the double cutaway, I just looked at them and I like the single cutaway.

Is the one you are considering similar to any of these?

Guitarist claims about the aesthetics of guitars have to be taken with a truckload of salt.

They invariably react based on emotion related to either seeing such a guitar over & over again in the hands of musicians they admire, or because they have one & have cradled it so many times that it has become a part of them.

In my opinion Teles *are* ugly, but that doesn't stop the all the other connotations from overloading my circuits when I see one. When I said it was like a dog, I wasn't kinding. Who doesn't love a dog.

They are not bad guitars. Too bad they are so freakin' butt ugly!
