"Parker PM20 = Amazing!!"
I have played a few guitars in my search for the "one" and I have to say Parker has the competition beat, in my opinion!
Although I play other brands,Parker will be my "main" guitar from here on out,My next purchase will be a "Fly" Model.They have absolutely impressed this player, and have earned a devoted customer!
If I'am ever seperated from this guitar I will buy another without any hesitation whats so ever!
Sound
I gave this a nine due to the fact that you can replace the Pups' and get the sound you want in any guitar. But the factory pick ups are just as good as any, they deliver a good clean sound to a punchy hard rock sound, the only thing I was dissappointed with was the "pinch harmonics" they are there but no so noticable. Other than that this guitar can deliver some excellent sounds from clean to distortion and has some serious sustain!I use a Crate GXL212 120 watt combo amp with no other effects(besides what is built into my amp),at this time.The Coil taps rule on this guitar, the range of sound just from the coil taps is amazing in itself!I may end up upgrading the pups'in the future.But I'm not in a big hurry to do it.
Features
The guitar came with a gig bag and chord.To me there are no uneeded features.I wish the hardware was in black and not chrome, but the Grover 18-1 tuners are a plus!And the above mentioned coil taps are a huge feature for the price of this guitar!
Ease of Use
Extremely easy to use,the neck is amazingly fast and the weight of the guitar itself is unbelievably lite! I love the feel of it! The manual explains the coil taps if your not use to them, very explanatory.
Quality
I can say,for a guitar that is made in Korea,the craftmanship of mine was fantastic, it is a beautiful guitar in all aspects! Although I will not be playing any venues with mine(Hobbist) I would say it seems to be very dependable.I feel this guitar will last me for a very long time.
Value
Yes this guitar is worth the price I paid in every aspect!
Manufacturer Support
I have not needed support for anything at this time, nor do I feel that I will need them in the future.
The Wow Factor
To me the finish is absolutely amazing, I love the color and the finish on the wood. The shape and the overall design is simply brilliant, Parker did not copy anyone, thats what makes them stand out and grab your attention!
