Parker Guitar Forum Factory Tour 2008 - Body Carving

[willeng84]

I like my Parker, I own the Nitefly Mojo in Transparent blue. Got a killer deal on it. I always like to give new guitars a little time to ware in before really judging them, for instance I have an American Stat bought brand new HATED IT, thought it was the worst neck that had ever been put on a guitar...Gave it a little while and kept adjusting and BAM....After putting some hours on it and some elbow grease its the best Strat I own. The Parker is not like other guitars so don't expect it to be.

TheRealRyan, you are right!

The upper bout is a PITA

I played one of these in a Sam Ash back in the early 90's and thought WTF

It does poke you in the ribs like a cheap dull knife.

I would round it off if I bought one

[vmp0001]

very thin guitar for me....i prefered prs guitars and strato.

[lovemyP44]

@vmp0001, Have you ever played one? I was skeptical too, but now I'm sold. Parker or nothing.

[bcwdrums]

Great vid ..Thanks for posting

[joseplluis7]

they do not make left handed guitars, so end of the story to me, poor left hand player!

[Darkez982]

they do, i have seen a lefty p42

[SkywalkerTheWiz]

Right-handed guitar is left-handed anyway. Have a good think about which hand is doing the hard work.

[joseplluis7]

It's not so easy. Try yourself to play left-handed! something in the brain is different. I write with my left hand too.

[cicalone70]

@joseplluis7 there is a PARKER PM20 & pro lefty... i'm left hand too..

[bilgemonkey74]

I love these guitar factory vids!

Thanks for posting!

[TheRealRyanMartin]

I can't believe that this amount of coin has been spent to produce such a quirky guitar. The upper horn is severely obtrusive to the ribcage and once your ribs are sore you can't even hang this guitar up on a hook.

[rmxrider20032000]

Played a Parker guitar, was the lightest electric guitar I have played had a good sound to it. It changed my perception of what makes up a great sounding guitar. But they do look a little funny.

[blsnewreligion]

what is the music in the beginning ?

[lovemyP44]

Watch all the way through!

[eroticblack]

ok thats just the upper curved area! sorry for the comment!

[eroticblack]

at 4:13 is that original body? how thin it is! How are they going to put pickups and all that stuff? It just looks like paper!

[lovemyP44]

It's not the original prototype, but it's one of the early models Ken used to create his CNC routing program. Also, the Fly pickups are thinner (top to bottom) than standard guitar pickups.

[peachy901]

they are so thin!

[FastRedPonyCar]

yup.. but the sound isn't!

[peachy901]

i knw man!

they sound like jesus having sex

god i want one

[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,-

[mojoefly]

why would they be a year and a halfs worth of backorders behind? with all those machines, i dont get it...

[crguti]

good video.

[stevieaxeman]

awesome - wish I had been there

[larslaughs]

My favorite of the bunch so far - thanks again Casey!
