With a solid mahogany body and a maple bolt-on neck, the P-42 screams with lightening fast response and a sweet, full midrange and singing upper register. Custom wound Parker Stinger pickups deliver plenty of sustain and grind while the coil tap gives you sweet single-coil tones. Learn More...

"This guitar has it all, the best guitar for under $1000 out there."

This guitar has the playability and feel of a much more expensive axe. The 25.5" scale and wide flat neck make playing this thing a pure joy. The ash body gets awesome tone and seems to feel alive when you play it. Lastly, but not leastly, the tonal range you can get from the combonation of pick-ups, s/s/h-piezo, makes the versitility of this rig unparalleled.

"one sweet guitar"

I fell in love with it the moment I picked it up. A friend of mine just bought it and brought it to practice last night. I was blown away with the styling, quality and the sound. To be able to switch from electric to acoustic midsong is awesome. I will be ordering one as soon as the wallet will let me!!!!
