Parker P-Series
They're guitars that deliver everything you'd expect from a Parker, at a price that acknowledges the concept of budget. When he designed the P-Series, Ken Parker used traditional materials without compromising the high standards and precise tolerances that have made Parker Guitars the ultimate in tonal spectrum and playability. With the combination of Parker playability, piezo, and magnetic voices, and the rockin' Parker look, the P-Series represents the finest guitar for the money on the market, bar none. Importantly, all P-Series guitars sold in the U.S. are set up in their Mundelein, IL factory to ensure spot-on tuning and playability.

Unless I was able to afford one of Parker's top models. This will be my last guitar. I don't really want to play any other.
Sound
I'm using a Line6 spider III, there is absolutely no noise at home, and the hum that I get in my music room, at school, is attributed to the lighting, which is completely defeated with the pickups switched to dual reverse wired.
Features
This is a no bells and whistles standard 3-single pickup work of art.
Ease of Use
The neck practically plays itself. I've never held a nicer feeling guitar in all my 52 years
Quality
This is a gorgeous piece, again I'll say work of art.
Value
I don't think you could find a guitar this nicely put together, with this GREAT style, sound, and playability for twice the price.
Manufacturer Support
When I've had to email Parker for questions, they answer promptly and knowledgbly
The Wow Factor
This is truly a unique guitar, that turns heads. With its sound, and ease of use coupled with its inspired design, I would say it is the perfect addition to my collection. If I had to pick only one to own, it would definitely be this one, hands down.
