Hey guys. I'm not usually a review writer but I feel like you'd be missin out if I didn't write this one. I was blessed with a metallic gray Parker P-42 for Christmas and I must say that it is suhweeeeeeet! It plays like buttah and is light as a feather. It has a mahogany body and a bolt on maple neck with an ebony fretboard with no markers.(still has dots on the top of the neck though) Has Parker Stinger alnico humbuckers with a three-way switch and coil tapping as well so you can sound just like a strat if you want. Grover tuners, tun-o-matic bridge with 22 frets. Also has split stereo or summed mono smart-switching output. This is my new favorite electric. I also have an Epi strat, Epi LP black beauty, and a Shechter C-1 classic all of which are extremely nice playing guitars. Parker has made a new friend. If you have about 400-500 bucks to sprare, GET ONE!

You noticed that huh? Good eye. They don't make 'em anymore. I've had it for about 16 years. Plays silky smooth. Heavy too.
