I have been a huge fan of Parker Guitars since 2002, when I first purchased a Parker Nitefly and later purchased a Parker Fly ($2,500 - $3,700). There is no way to adequately describe what it's like to play a Parker Guitar. It's like, well, the only thing that can describe how nice is feels to play a Parker is to compare to having sex. But my Parker never gets a head ache, does not want any jewelry and never says NO. All kidding aside, in my opinion The Parker Fly is the best guitar available for the money.

Parker has a lower cost "P” series guitar that is both high quality and inexpensive. Made in Korea, they are fine instruments and play considerably better than most Asian build guitars. To me, if you are going to own a Parker you should buy their Parker Mojo, which are quite expensive, but worth the price. There is a tremendous difference between the US and Asian made guitars

What sets the Parker Fly and Fly Mojo apart from the competition is the incredible playability of the guitar. It is extremely light weight, made of the best tone woods and has the fastest and most consistent neck every designed. Best of all there are no "dead” zones on the necks, and the frets NEVER wear out. Well, if you wear out the Stainless Steel frets you're certainly a better man than me.

The Fly Mojo and the new Fly Mojo Flame are made from a solid one-piece mahogany body joined to a solid mahogany neck. The Fly Mojo Flame features an AAA Flame Maple face that provides a stunning appearance without sacrifici

ng the warm mahogany tones. All Mojo guitars include Parker's patented neck design with stainless steel frets and Parker's ultra-durable and fast carbon glass fingerboard.

A word about Sperzel locking tuners: once you've experienced the ease of changing strings and the stead fast tune ability of the locking tuner you will never want another guitar without them. Just thread the string through the bridge and the whole on the end of the tuning peg, tighten and you're done. No winding needed, accept to tune the instrument.

But the most important thing about a guitar is how it sounds. According to Ken Parker; every part of the instrument, the body, the neck, the bridge has to "to sing”. Every component has an inherited tonal quality, which properly matched and molded, make up the tonal quality of the guitar.

Parker Guitars is now part of the Washburn Guitar Company, another favorite of mine. If you are in the market for a premium quality US Made guitar you should consider the Parker Guitar.
