I played one of these the other day and was blown away, absolutely the best sounding guitar I've ever heard played clean and it can get pretty dirty too. Very unique, very versatile, I'd love to have one, if i had the money. The only thing I don't like is that the strings are so close to the body, making it uncomfortable to pick/strum, for me at least, but I'm sure I could use to it. I would take this over any fender, I love the single coil sound, but I'm disappointed by the quality of fenders, this is much nicer.

I bought the parker p-36 in white, and it is beautiful. This guitar has unique looks, all around 5 star sound and plays like a dream. I have always loved telecasters, and i found that this guitar had an ever better neck, so i went with my gut and bought it, and am so happy. The piezo is cool, but not very practical, it gives off a very thin sound, but when i mix it with the neck pickup, it gets a nice sound. All in all a solid guitar for everyone.

I own 9 guitars, have played guitar for 27 years, and this is one of my favorites. Very versatile, well made, slim and fast neck, and the piezo pickup gives it a really unique sound over my other guitars. Good for all genres. Solid guitar for the money.

I bought the red p-36. Fits me so fine. Lite weight and the tone is there. I play thru a peavey delta blues with the 15 in speaker. This guitar sings thru this amp. I run an A/B switch. send acoustic to mixer. I think it is a great sounding acoustic thru the pa. The neck is a lil narrow but all else is great. We cover country, southern, classic, blues, new stuff and oldies it covers them all. I reccomend this guitar to all.

Surprising versatility

I was looking for a Telecaster, and admit to a bias for American made instruments. I ended up trying out the P36 on a whim, and was completely surprised on a number of levels. The neck was fast, it was easy to go up and down the neck, and the body was well-balanced. It was comfortable to play both standing and sitting. It is so light that it feels less-than-substantial. Don't let that fool you. The bridge pickup has plenty of bite, and the neck pickup has a surprisingly warm tone to it. My primary amp is a Fender SuperSonic, and the Piezos sound great through the Bassman circuit on the clean channel. The Vibrolux circuit is a little too bright for the Piezos, but you get a real nice sound with either of the magnetic pickups using this circuit. The bridge pickup cuts through nicely using the high-gain channel, but it will not give you a chainsaw-through-your-skull death metal level of gain if that's your goal.
