Members dmc69 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 So I went ahead and got it. I'm happy I did. Messing around with the magnetic pickups and piezo has been a blast so far. I don't think my Traynor YCV50 Blue has had a better match (BLUE! It was meant to be). Great useable sounds. And the playability? Too good to let petty cosmetic preferences deter me. Still think it's ugly as a mofo though. Love the flame, hate the shape, DESPISE the headstock. If I close my eyes, I can pretend it is a much more beautiful guitar. Or perhaps I'll play it on a dark stage some day. Win-Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take a lot of beer for me to think this one's a beauty. Lots of makeup and bling, but still hideous. Les Pauls to me are beautiful to look at - but with beauty comes fragility. One wrong move, and it becomes a "head(stock)case". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Seriously, I understand. Mi felt the same until I found a P-38 at a pawnshop with HSC for $59. Fell in love immediately and forgot about her looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benricci Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Looks pretty cool - dig the blue flame. What's it sound like? Never played a Parker before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmc69 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 What's it sound like? If I find my recording equipment, I'll do some sound clips. On the neck pickup, not split, tone at 7, piezo volume at 4, it's a full sound with some nice high end clarity. Of course, this is only on one position (of the 13 possible combos) I've been tweaking so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Danhedonia Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 I never liked Parkers ... 'til this thread! Wow, that's really pretty. I like how it's both flashy and yet simple. Happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
