Here she is!



I've been looking at names for it, and I'd say my favorite is Pearl.
Give me any more of you can think of any!

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for it? I know the Parker name but that much about them, other than they are pricy!!!

Nice! I've only played one parker, and it was the standard body design. Not sure what model though. It was nice, but kind of had a steril sound to it. It was the most uncomfortable guitar I'd ever played though. The neck was only slightly better than those horrible ibanez necks, and the upper horn of the body was jabbing into my gut. The piezo stuff was nice, and it had a nice tone for super high gain stuff, but the guitar itself didn't really have much tone to it. Your model looks much better though.

Well, I got it brand new for 750 bucks, though it's MSRP was 1200-1300. Let me explain... My dad as just recently got a guitar store up off the ground, though it is still in it's early stages. For me this is very good news, meaning I can play spectacular guitars at any time, I get major discounts, and their will always be people in and out of there. Plus, I can learn a lot from the people that are gonna being working there. Im not bragging :rolleyes: , just sayin'. My pa knocked off 350 bucks at first, but then exclaimed,

"You know what Matt, I'll knock off another 100 dollars, just cause your family"

Believe me, I was almost in tears. It really IS the axe of my dreams.

Oh Eric, I totally know what your talking about. Some of the models that came in to my dad's shop felt kinda weird... but my PM PRO was different....

Uhm, is there any reason you put my myspace blog page as your signature? :confused:

The last Parker I played had that funny looking upper horn, that almost looks like a handle. That was very uncomfortable for me, seeing as I've got a large belly lol. The guitar was very light, and had a lot of tones in it, but the guitar itself just didn't have any tone. It's hard to explain. I think it had a basswood body, with a basswood neck that had a carbon fiber coating, and some other composite material for the fretboard. It just wasn't for me. Your guitar on the other hand, looks pretty cool. Kinda like a Les Paul on an acid trip lol (but not in a bad way).

Should like, ask your dad for a job. Nice guitar btw, I'm not much for the Parker headstocks though.
