I just want to say these listings are not mine & I don't know the seller, I just found them trolling this morning & thought you guys/girls
may find them interesting.
This one was hand carved by Ken Parker in '85.

i playede a parker fly in a music store back in about '95. i thought it fet REALLY nice in my hands.
in fact i woulda bought it on the spot, but i didn't bring enough $$ with me. i was, at that time, also buying another guitar and a combo amp. because i was traveing i didn't have room in the car for an extra guitar.

i've never played one. premier guitar had a review on parker's work with acoustic models...the man is a true craftsman. the woods are.....beyond gorgeous.

Man that is some beautiful guitar playing.
Those guitars are incredible too, shame no left handers. :'(

what really shocked me...or some word like that...amazed? the cleanliness and finish INSIDE the guitars...i mean, the work is beyond anal retentive. it's 'perfectionist'. i'm not that good with anything i make; but...i respect those who are.
i'm downloading the sound file now, dh. i'll get to listen to it about 7 this evening! :)
the quality of the recording is dang good, too, init? hear every nuance.

Did anyone buy it? I rather like the color/paint scheme on it regardless of the design. (I'm more of a traditional design guy)

Still listed on ebay $37,500 sounds a bit over the top, could buy a lot of nice guitars for that money.
-
HA! $37,000 for an unproven guitar? There are many great tools to be had in this world of guitars and that's not one of them at that price....
