Description

From Our Catalog
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 Parker's Mundelein, IL factory to ensure spot-on tuning and playability.

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.
