I've played this Parker since 2000 - bought used on eBay, same as you! My idea was that my keyboardist girlfriend might also take up electric guitar - it's a lightweight solid-body with slim neck width, but with full solid body features. She wasn't interested and I have been playing it myself over the years - nothing like that Parker sound! But I've found I prefer my Les Paul for my blues-rock playing style, so selling to prep for a cross-country move. Parker Classic's standard dual humbucker coils plus piezo-electric bridge pickups, active preamp electronics onboard, vibrato bar, all operational and in very good condition. One small paint chip under bridge, otherwise normal playing scratches but nothing severe. My playing setup is a 10 1/2 vibrato spring, shipped with that setup, fresh 9v battery, strings on and tuned.
I'l throw some tasty extras into your deal, depending on the final sale price:ANY SALE PRICE - comes with its own custom-fit velvet lined case. PLUS + + + a Strap-Lok quick remove strap set already mounted to the guitar! PLUS + + + three spare vibrato springs in sizes 9, 9 1/2 and 10 - obtained through factory service, used to change whammy bar tension if you prefer lighter gauge strings. SALE PRICE $1100 or more - I'll give you another PLUS +++ - a five foot stereo cable, $45 value, so that you can try out the stereo bi-amping capability of the Parker series. I admit I haven't used stereo much, and this baby plays and sounds quite amazing with just the standard single channel guitar cable/amp. But with pickups in stereo mode, you have option of separate effects lines for the piezo bridge pickups and the 2-humbucker set. Also you can run them separately into a stereo amp head. (Isolated on either stereo or standard, the piezos give close to an amped acoustic sound if you add a bit of delay/chorus.) Worth a try, right?SALE PRICE $1200 or more - this is the real sweet spot. I'll throw in a 2013 Pignose practice amp in near-new condition - $100 value with six lithium batteries installed, plus AC power pack/line. With this sale price, you're basically getting a new guitar player's starter kit and gift set, for your kid, spouse, or even yourself - you deserve it! The Pignose plus the Parker onboard active preamp gives you a fine classic overdrive tone - plus you can open and close the case back, which completely changes the cabinet sound. 10 watts is perfect for practice amping. Also has head out jack if you want to use the Pignose amp circuitry as a pre-amp into your performance setup. Hit the "Buy it Now" button and this is your package deal. Or any final sale price $1200 or more. You deserve this - go for it!NOTE: Look carefully above - there are different extras depending on your final sale price. Paypal only.There's a $25.00 flat fee added for shipping by UPS Ground - probably less than the actual cost. If you'd like different shipping, message me after sale payment clears and we'll work it out. Guitar will be packed separately from amp if package deal purchased.
