Thanks for the hands on review Jimi!
Parkers are, IMHO, one of the few really inovative instruments since the conception of the electric guitar (others that spring to mind are the Steinbergers, for instance). They are perhaps the best guitars for a "live-session" player, i.e. a guitarist with the need for a lot of tones on tap; and have you noticed the weight? Or lack thereof?
God, I played an older Fly which was 2 kilos in weight, all in all! It seemed to weight less than the strap! You could play literally for hours on this thing.
I understand what you say about the "soul" of the instrument, but then again, I would expect it to "grow on you". I don't really know, a friend of mine uses Parkers almost exclusively for the past 5 years and now can't play anything else.
In fact I wouldn't mind to have one in my futute as well!
