Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (36 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Why would you buy anything else, play it once and you'll know why."
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. 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. 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 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. Manufacturer 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. The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "PARKER IS MY MUSE!!!"
Sound: The sound of the guitar is very pliable. It is able to do many sounds and do them well. dont think, however , that it is going to do staight strat or les paul sounds, it has its own unique character (which is a great thing). the stock pickups come off as a tad bit weak, but for the price there is nothing better. (an lollar,fralin,duncan etc. upgrade will easily put this guitar in the upper range of quality as far as sound goes!) Feature: More than i could ask for! it bewilders me that this company isnt more popular. they offer top quality (equal or better to/than american fender and better than 99% of gibsons)for a much much lower price. i cant imagine how good parkers top quality guitars are. this guitar is missing nothing. from tone, volume, piezo, coil tap, whammy bar, what else could one ask for on a guitar under $1000? Ease of Use: Even with all the pickup combinations available and all the bells and whistles, it is still very easy to get around and get the sound you want. The neck for me is a great fit (this is very subjective to the user). great playing guitar! Quality: Parker is known for making top quality guitars, barre none. This will be no exception. The woods are quality, the design is well thought out, the fit and finish is detailed as needed and the setup from factory was more than decent. however i would advise any new guitar owner to either take some time and set their guitar up to their preference or go to a guitar tech, it is well worth the time and money to get a setup on a new guitar. Value: THE BEST BUY FOR THE MONEY ON THE GUITAR MARKET TODAY!!!!!!!! Manufacturer Support: From other reviews and some personal experience parker is great at getting back to emails. great company to support and buy from. The Wow Factor: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My opinion is that i think this guitar has tons of sex appeal and is carved like a ferrari. It looks fast, plays fast, and is comfortable to play. Sleek, slender, and sexy! Overall: I have owned it for about 5 months now and let me put it this way, i just sold my 1996 american telecaster deluxe 50th anniversary in order to upgrade the pickups on my parker and possibly buy another! it is that good! Versatility is the name of the game with this guitar, but you can also dial in some very unique and interesting sounds, and it plays very well with a professional set up! Great guitar, my main axe from now on!! Thank you parker, youve created my muse.
