Parker P-Series
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 their Mundelein, IL factory to ensure spot-on tuning and playability.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
It's my main axe..I play my Strat sparingly..I am a songwriter/musician for over 35 years..Used to work at a Music Store in Chicago, Ill., so I got to play EVERYTHING..This guitar is very well made, very affordable..
Sound
Sounds as good or better than any Les Paul or PRS..Ebony Fingerboard, Mahogany Body, Duncan Pickups, Tone pros Bridge all rock!
Features
Most useful features are: Tone Pros Bridge, locks down, sustains for days. Least useful for me are the push-pull coil cancelling pots, since I have a Strat, but they do give you cool tones..Would rather have a hard shell case than a gig bag, but the gig bag is one of the better ones I've seen.
Ease of Use
Plays great..Easy to set up, intonate..Neck is comfy..Not as heavy as a Les paul, but sounds just as killer..
Quality
Overall, top-notch..Beautiful guitar, pix don't do it justice
Value
Best " Bang For Your Buck " out there..
Manufacturer Support
Company is great..I actually took a tour of their Mundelein, Il Factory..Still have a lot of the original guitar makers from the East coast Parker Factory.
The Wow Factor
Looks great..Inlays stand out..
