"Why would you buy anything else, play it once and you'll know why."

Feature:
I really like the pickups, all three of them, the sounds you can create are amazing. And I've never found another guitar brand that can do the same.

Quality:
Excellent workman ship excellent quality of everything. And I've had it long enough to have banged it around a bit knocked it over and dropped it once or twice without anything going wrong, just pick it up and start playing again. It's one of the most beautiful guitars I've owned, flawless finish, incredible tone wood in the body. I get the feeling you wuold really have to work at hurting it to make it unplayable.

Value:
Even at the full suggested retail price this is more than worth it, you could spend a thousand or two more but I don't think you would be getting anything better.

Desirability:
This is not a run of the mill fender knock off like almost everything out there, you either like it or you don't, me I really like it. Why would you want ordinary when you could have a Parker is beyond me. It has SEX appeal, you can hold it caress it it feels so good, and it loves you back.

Sound:
The sound is amazing and that's because of the wood. Sometimes I play it unplugged just to feel the sound and I do mean feel it, the whole guitar vibrates with tone. But plug it in and the sound explodes out of the speakers.

Ease of Use:
Take a few minutes to read the instructions and you are off on the adventure of a lifetime. Or just jump right in a go exploring. It's not complicated but does offer a wide variety of sounds when you learn the controls, takes about 2 minutes or less. Playability is incredible

Support:
I wrote them a few times and got answers back by the next day or sooner. They seem dedicated to being there and doing the right thing, making happy guitar players.

Overall:
I've played a Hagstrom since 1965 and was sure the world would never build a better playing guitar, the P44 is right on par with that old Swedish craftmanship and I doubt I'll live long enough for anyone to create something better. I've tried lots of other brands over the years and none stood up to comparison, oh they were good but not as good for down right playing. It's just hard to improve upon perfection. You could change the pickups to any of the 6000 different ones they make today if you NEED some different specific sound I guess, but you couldn't put them on a better guitar. If this got stolen or destroyed I would rush right out and get a new one.

"Awesome guitar for a great price"

Feature:
What other guitars off so many features peizo p/ups, regular and active pickups, three guitars in one. wow

Quality:
I looked at two at the store. One had divits in the fretbord and looked like laquer was peeeling off.the second one was flawless, thats at my home right now.

Value:
Awesome price for a guitar of this quality. Unlike GIbson where epiphones are just as good and you only pay for the paint on the heads stock.

Desirability:
Wesome looks and not everyone and there brother has one like fenders and gibsons... I have all three, Les paul deluxe, Fender strat, schecter hellraiser and this is just as good

Sound:
This guitar sounds great, I have a les paul and an acoustic ovation that will be going on ebay....This guitar will replace both.

Ease of Use:
Knobs are not like other guitars so I had to use the book to figure out the settings. But the 30 seconds that it took to look it up was worth it.

Support:
Havent tried them yet and hopefully never will have to.

Overall:
I plan to keep it for ever. Or until I buy a parker fly mojo. I would have liked to see this as thin as the fly's but oh well.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
The P-44 has all the signature capabilities of the high-end Parker Fly in a beautiful solid-Mahogany body.The humbuckers deliver twang and shimmer with plenty of attitude. The split coil lets you get a pseudo-single-coil sound, with zero hum. Count on the piezos for a very realistic acoustic sound, then mix them with the magnetics for a hybrid that introduces a whole new dimension to music.
