I'm glad i did too, this fucker kicks a lot of ass...
Bought a Parker P-44 from a pawn shop yesterday for only $350 in freaking EXCELLENT condition, and it's the exact model i had been wanting (unless i were to just add the Fishman/Wilkinson systems to my Les Paul and my Strat, unfortunately, they don't make one to fit PRS's w/ tremolos like my CE-24), now i know they are not the high-end American made models with the synthetic bodies and necks, but i actually think their wooden-bodied foreign guitars sound better electrically (although maybe the Wilkinson acoustic piezo systems on the American models sounds a hair better than the Fishmans found on the foreign models), this is still a cool as hell guitar...and I dig the fuck out of the finish:
i just need the stereo cable, case, and a tremolo bar for it...
I'll expect a few flamings for this one (those can sukmaicoc!), but until you've heard one, you just won't know...

took you long enough, huh?
dan lives in the MC for this kind of shit...
the Fly has a way thinner tone than this guitar does, this thing has a pretty fat tone...

not sure, i just know this one and the one i played on the Nitefly looked different... plus a Fly is about $1200-1500 more than one of these NEW (this one i see in the stores new for $800.00 or so)...

The shape isn't to my taste, but those things are supposed to play really nice. Enjoy

i have a piezo on my 7 string ibanez and it does rule, its cool to get an acoustic sound on an electric guitar. i suggest putting on heavy distortion with the piezo on. you can get some fucked up sounds.

where'd you find one of those? that's kinda rare...is one made for a Floyd Rose? I know Fishman and/or Wilkinson make them for Strat-styled trems and Gibson styled stop tails...I want to find one for my PRS, but they don't make one for the PRS trems like the one on my CE24...

too bad, this may actually be the best toned guitar I have, and the most versatile, too...the tone knob pulls up to coil tap both humbuckers as well...and these humbuckers are some of the crispest, cleanest, and highest output i have ever heard, i need this system in my Les Paul and the piezo in my PRS...

Parker's are nice sounding- the headstock looks too much like a sexual device-
I dig the body finish though.
