MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES
Parker’s combination of DiMarzio®or Seymour Duncan
®
magnetic pickups and Fishman®piezo pickups makes it
possible to produce powerful electric guitar tones and intricate,
full-bodied acoustic guitar tones. Parker, Fishman,®and
DiMarzio®worked hand-in-hand to develop both the unique
pickups and the unique mounting systems used to attach and
adjust them. Our pickups are mounted firmly to the body with
pole-piece screws instead of plastic rings, springs,and screws
that float the pickups in oversized cavities. The results of this
solid connection are superior tone and less chance of pickup
squeal at high volume.
PERFECT PITCH
Our high-performance vibrato system can be
quickly adjusted to behave like a fixed bridge,
bend-down only, or floating bridge (bending
both up and down).The bridge pivots like liquid
silk on ball bearings.
EVEN RESPONSE
Quite possibly the smoothest, fastest-playing neck in the business, ours
is constructed from a solid piece of basswood or mahogany.With bridge
components of cast aluminum and stainless steel, it’s a bulletproof
package that’s easy to adjust.The paper-thin triaxial carbon/glass-fiber
reinforcement supports the vibrant wood structure,resulting in an amazingly
responsive and stable, yet incredibly lightweight, guitar with even tonal
response. It’s a patented construction you won’t find anywhere else.

QUICK-CHANGE ARTISTRY
Large hall? Micro stage? Enclosed studio?
The smart jack on our active preamp senses
your cable type (stereo or mono) and either
splits the electric and acoustic sounds and
sends them to separate amps, or combines
them and plays both through a single
amplifier. Our mixer circuit allows the
volumes and tones of the electric and
acoustic sounds to be mixed on the fly.
PRECISE TONES
Set neck? Bolt-on neck? Our unique multifinger neck joint combines the best of both into
a slender, lightweight neck that ensures
optimum resonance from the body and neck
tone woods and resists the warping that throws
lesser guitars out of tune within a year or two.
Our patented neck design also eliminates the
clumsy heel for smoother, more comfortable
upper-fretboard access.
EFFORTLESS PLAYABILITY
Ranging from 3-1/2 to 6 pounds and impossibly
slender, Parker guitars give many people the
impression that our instruments are made from some
kind of space-age plastic. The truth is, we use
lightweight tone woods of the highest quality and
reinforce them with a layer of composite that’s thinner
than the paint job. The result of this unique
combination is a guitar that’s responsive, lightweight
and perfectly balanced while sitting or standing, with
no dead spots or unevenness in tone.

THE ANATOMY OF PERFECT SOUND
2 PARKER GUITARS 2007 PRODUCT GUIDE
Page 3
LOCKED-DOWN TUNING
Sperzel®tuning pegs are, without a doubt, the highest
quality pegs available, combining excellent quality and
design with minimal weight. In fact, the lightweight
aluminum construction of our tuning pegs is key to the
fine balance of Parker guitars. Bob Sperzel’s patented
locking device helps to keep guitars in tune, even with
the most aggressive, merciless flogging, and makes
string changes fast and painless.
SILKY-SMOOTH FRETTING
Our fretboard system consists of long-lasting
hardened stainless steel frets (not the soft nickel of
ordinary guitars), manufactured to precise
tolerances in the correct “half-round” shape and
bonded to our patented glass/carbon-fiber
fingerboard. The composite surface is quite unlike
a conventional wooden fingerboard and gets
slicker with sweat, not tackier.
NO-FUSS ADJUSTMENTS
The Parker truss rod—only 1/6th the weight of
conventional rods—adjusts the neck easily to
accommodate string gauges from .008" to .013"
as well as different tunings.The lighter-weight rod is
another reason why Parkers are so perfectly
balanced and comfortable to play.
SCULPTED SHAPE BODY RANGING IN THICKNESS FROM 1/2"– 1-1/2"
WEIGHT:5 POUNDS
2 VOICES, OR 2 000
Parker’s dual pickup systems work together to deliver electric,acoustic,or a mix of the two sounds.Our custom DiMarzio®or Seymour
Duncan®magnetic pickups produce powerful electric guitar tones while our Fishman®piezo pickups,designed by Larry Fishman specifically
for Parker,sense each string individually,providing the lush, complex tones of an acoustic guitar.The two systems are blended by a stereo
preamp that allows you to mix the volumes and tones on-board.A “smart”switching jack senses stereo or mono cable and routes the signals
accordingly.
UNCOMPROMISED VIBE
The point at which a guitar neck meets the body is the Bermuda Triangle of sound. Not only is it where vibrations traditionally
disconnect as one material meets another,it’s also the point where alignment goes haywire due to the sheer physical stress. Ken
Parker solved all of that with our revolutionary, multi-fingered neck joint. A marvel of physics, it contributes to the evenness of the
sound and resists the inevitable warping that sends other guitars out of tune.
