I have a love/hate relationship with Parker guitars. I've played a few of them and they have all played and sounded great. I love that they are inventive with design and were one of the first, I believe, to offer piezo acoustic sounds as a standard item on their guitars.
Now for the hate: I think they are ugly.
It's that plain and simple. Though i often love "ugly" or non-conventional designs almost wholly because of said ugliness, i cannot find love for the Parker.
This leather wrapped Parker P36 is no exception to the rule. It's almost as if they found a way to make it even less attractive to me. Luckily there are only 144 of these reptile-meets-bovine atrocities out there so I'll not likely be seeing one in real life.
What do you all think? Is there love for Parker out there?

- Neck-through Vintage Yamaha Sc1200
guitarz.blogspot.com: I love what Yamaha was doing in the 1970s. I doubt there is a guitar ( or motorcycle for that matter) that they built that decade that I wouldn't be happy to have. This SC1200 is a more conventional offering but still...

guitarz.blogspot.com: It's likely become apparent to you all that I am a huge Telecaster fan. I love all Teles. From the Fender Standard American to the wackiest take on the design, I can rarely find fault with them. I thought I could share that...

guitarz.blogspot.com: I've played a lot of guitars from the Godin family of instruments. Seagull, Art & Lutherie, Norman, Richmond, and Simon Patrick are all great guitars within their respective range of instruments. I love the look of...

guitarz.blogspot.com: I did a search on this blog for a Teisco Vintage Sounds guitar as the one pictured above and fully expected to find a few. But my search found none. A little surprising as there are 64 posts here concerning Teisco....
