"A Killer Axe!"

Feature:
This guitar includes a gig bag that looks like it could get run over by a truck! it has a tune-o-matic bridge, and it has coil tap that can give you sweet single coil sounds.

Quality:
For a korean made guitar this is astounding quality and every parker is set up by specialists in the us!

Value:
This is the absolute best guitar for the money on the market hands down.

Sound:
You can get many different sounds out of this beast! I play hard rock and some metal and it is perfect.

Ease of Use:
This guitar has the best action I have ever used and it is right out of the box. it is about as heavy as the bag it comes with! it's neck is so smooth and so is the fretboard.

Overall:
If you are an experienced guitarist or just starting out I would buy this guitar.

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.
