Parker Guitar Forum Factory Tour 2008

[maneatingtoilets]

I want one. But Im not paying for it. I can imagine the sustain and resonance wouldnt be too great either, with such a thin body.

[MegaSmud]

These guitars sound like they look: flat. Sounds a little pale, such as sheet metal. Real guitars are made from 100% wood. The only high on this guitar is its price.

[cbrandom]

@MegaSmud Aww, someone is sad cause all they can afford is a piece of shit asian import..

[MegaSmud]

@cbrandom An american stratocaster for example, is not a cheap asian import. I don´t want a Parker, not even for free.

[cbrandom]

@MegaSmud It's not exactly an expensive domestic guitar either. What do those start at, like 700 bucks? Parkers start at under a grand. More high end Parkers cost more, but the same can be said for higher end American strats. I don't see what your beef is with Parker. Not even wanting one for free, you've clearly never played one and are just butt-hurt about something.

[MegaSmud]

@cbrandom For me, parker guitars are ugly, especially the fly. And I don´t like its sound. Framus Panthera, Stratocaster, Gibson, PRS, that´s what I prefer. Is that bad? Do I have to be beheaded?

[cbrandom]

@MegaSmud Why don't you go take some more pictures of tree sap? You clearly have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to guitars.

[MegaSmud]

@cbrandom I'm a guitarist, I played guitar for years: acoustic guitar, classical guitar and electric guitar. I also played the piano and drums. Photography is my hobby.

[HillaryHitler]

Ibanez can NOT touch numerous other brands.

[beenoopo]

*slobber slobber*

[edwardtang1977]

do they share the Washburn factory?

[myway43]

Do they do factory tours all the time?

[lovemyP44]

@myway43, no - so far they've only done two. This one in May of 2008, and another one in 2009.

[ripbaloff]

wow that guy's thumbs in the beggining are so stubby its scary

[TimJMorrison]

@ripbaloff

They're stubby because he carves the guitars by rubbing trees with his thumbs.

[TheMilan1994]

beautifull guitar!!!

[vaporarrows]

Sultans of Swing, great song.

[justAnotherINTJ]

they dont make left handed ones do they?

[extremeguitargod]

not that i have seen, but you can get custom ones

[justAnotherINTJ]

really how much do they cost?

[joeypaint]

1000 and as much a 9900 on the Vernon model

[cast390]

If I ever pay $9000 for a guitar it better come with a blonde with big tits and a pear shaped ass

[luckyguitar123]

Agreed.

[bbbooohhhuuu]

um..... although the guitars and sounds are good.... but parker's gotta keep up their consistencies. i bought a parker fly deluxe. the strings arent aligned with the neck. there is very little space between the high E string and the neck and every time i play that string i have to purposely push it up so that it doesnt "slip off" the neck. i checked a lot of other parker guitars, they have the same problem. such priced guitars should never have this problem. i am disappointed.

[trauma15]

i think that parkers are really good, but serriously they need to get some better players into their videos man, guitars just look better when someone like guthrie govan is ripping on it....for parkers theres like barely any material with good guitar players hauling ass on em.

[Kur0y4m4]

I really think those bursts are an aesthetic mistake. I love the shape of the Fly. Even the singlecuts (Just bought my first!). But to try to run the "burst" effect all the way up to the bouts just doesnt feel or look right. It feels forced. They should stick to the "plectrum" shape and leave the bouts black or whatever color the back is.

Come on Parker... Youve got a good thing. Keep it going well!

[mike2tone]

what's the difference between a fly and a fly mojo??? and the nitefly?? sorry if I'm being silly but just got into these beauties...so planning to save my years salary to get one

[xTeam5150]

i like a heavyness to my guitar though

[mojoefly]

so many people think they know so much about tone but they cant play. isnt that strange...

[dropkickurteeth44]

whoa! is that body thinner than the Ibanez s series?!

[guitarosaur]

That's the thinnest, lightest-weight body going. Ibanez can't touch Parker. Period.

[cbrandom]

@guitarosaur No shit. My Strat is lighter than my RG570... The Floyd Rose adds a couple pounds alone.

[batmayn123]

I will be getting a Parker P-40 or nitefly soon

[musicman0308]

get a nitefly, you will like it better.

[batmayn123]

I would get a fly deluxe if i could afford one.. but no :(

[musicman0308]

ya so just get a nitefly. there better then the P-40s

[batmayn123]

I've found a parker nitefly M i can afford! Do you think that is a good choise?

[musicman0308]

its the best nitefly there is.

[Steven205]

The P-series guitars are lower quality, but still have an amazing sound. They're good for starters or if you're looking for a nice guitar for a good price. Now the Flys and Niteflys are even better and are normally American made which makes their sound alot better. Don't underestimate the P-series though. All parker guitars are good. There is no such thing as a cheap quality parker guitar.

[musicman0308]

and why are you telling me this??? im not an idiot i know what im talking about.

[Steven205]

So was it really necessary to go apeshit on me? I'm sure just about everyone knows the Niteflys are better than P-40's If they don't well then I just added information to what you just said.

[musicman0308]

i was not going "apeshit" on you. i just asked a question kind sir.

[staticxfrk]

parker flys are ugle and way over priced for being such a shitty guitar

[techdeath16]

haha... i almost thought u were being serious for a moment...

[jackwilliamnicol]

They're awesome looking and awesome sounding you cunt!

[just4fuck]

LISTEN UP!

I`m the proud owner of a Parker Fly Winter Season Mojo Fly, I first held it in my hands at the NAMM show in LA, January 2008. This is a prototype, serial no. P0712301. I called USMusicCorp. to have a Certificate of Authenticity, but they refuse to know the whereabout of this guitar/this item (?). To those of you who pay an enormous amount of money to have 1 of the 25 chrome guitars from this production line,-

[batmayn123]

If any CKY fans are reading this, then go to the alliance boards! Theres some amazing pictures og Deron Millers Custom parker! If I had the money, I would buy 5 of em' when they come out!

[Chiger23]

/drool looking to get my first nitefly soon

[jawadahmad77]

WHOA Silverburst!!!

[skmetalhead16]

I personaly think parkers are very unique but ugly

[PandaRoooooo]

I've got one and I love it, the feel and the look. But I can see what you mean, you either love em or hate em!!

[blynx666]

I have one too, and love it. But I can understand skmetalhead16 - they're too weird and modern-looking for some people's taste. And I'm not saying that derrogatively, because I also have a Telecaster :)

[NeoClassicalManiac94]

Hey Casey, Larry, Lawerence, Alex. Its Will, I wish I could get ahold of that chrome paint. Where can I get it?

[batmayn123]

Are we gonna see Deron miller's Custom parker ?

[lovemyP44]

I don't remember seeing it. While the people at the factory were so cool, they didn't point out any Fly's that were being custom made... we had to ask! :-)

[scumfuc616]

aww i would love to see that, nice to see you like cky too.

[jaxzsk8er]

i saw a prototype pic of it, it had the famous face from sleepaway camp, and it was black. who knows what they did to it now.

[tgnz24]

Lucky bastards!Thank for posting this!

[satrianirocks]

Awesome! Thanks Gentlemen!

[larslaughs]

Great job Casey! That's a really nice overview of a fantastic experience.

Thanks for posting this!
