Powerful Parker tone and super-fast feel for an amazingly low price.

The Parker P-42 is designed to be the best possible electric guitar at the lowest possible price for serious guitarists. The visual impact of the Parker Fly guitar is achieved with a solid mahogany body and maple bolt-on neck. Sonically, the P-42 guitar is a monster. Two custom-wound Parker Stinger alnico humbucker pickups deliver super sustain and grind plus they offer coil tapping to give you a bright edge with no hum. The Parker P-42 guitar's genuine ebony fretboard provides a silky feel with 22 frets on a 10" to 13" conical-radius neck.

Parker Vs. Gibson

Posted by Gibson Bob from bucks county, Pa on Oct 18, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: hobbyist, former pro

Reviewer's Play Style: heavy classic rock

Love this guitar. Have 12 Gibson solid bodies, this plays as well as most of them. Fast neck, low action, super comfortable, great sound. You could spend twice this price and it would still be a great deal. Don't hesitate to add this to your collection!Been playing 40+ years, I'm not a beginner, this is a great guitar!

Dozen Gibsons, first Parker

I own a dozen Gibson Solid bodies, nice ones, supremes, custom shop.... I lowered the action just a bit from what it was set at the factory, put a set of .009 GHS strings. This thing plays as well as all my others. For the price you can't beat it, you could spend 3x as much, but you don't have to. Sculpted back is nice too, doesn't dig into your ribs. Part of my onstage arsenal now.

Reviewer's Play Style: Alternative

I've had this guitar for almost 2 years now. The action is great, the locking tuners are amazing. It stays in tune perfectly. The humbuckers are clear enough that I don't have to use the coil tap, but it is nice to use once in a while. I play in the band Icicles to Eskimos and it sounds great. BUY IT! oh yeah... once my volume knob got a little screwed up... but it fixed itself.

Not unbelievable, but definetly exceptional

Posted by Hinaru from Greensboro on Aug 22, 2008

Experience w/product: I have used it

Reviewer's Background: Plays every day

Reviewer's Play Style: Experimental progressive alternative rock metal

I like this guitar. It is extremely light, has a fast fretboard, unique design, and overall a solid guitar. It is best for music like alternative, not the best for metal, but will suffice. This is a great quality guitar for the price, nowhere near a Nitefly, but then again, also nowhere near as expensive. I would suggest getting this guitar if you are a beginner to moderate player, and the only people that I would not suggest it to would be Metallica.
