EFFORTLESS PLAYABILITY
Ranging from 3 1/2 to 6 pounds and impossibly slender, Parker
guitars give many people the impression that our instruments
are made from the same kind of spaceage plastic. The
truth is, we use lightweight tonewoods of the highest quality
and reinforce them with a layer of carbon fiber composite
that’s thinner than the paint job. The result of this unique
combination is a guitar that is responsive, lightweight, evenly
toned with no dead spots, and perfectly balanced while
sitting or standing.
MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES
Parker’s combination of Custom Seymour Duncans - R.S.® or Seymour Duncan® magnetic pickups
PERFECT PITCH and Fishman® piezo pickups makes it possible to produce powerful electric guitar tones and
intricate, full-bodied acoustic guitar tones. Parker, Fishman®, and Custom Seymour Duncans -
Our high performance vibrato system can be quickly
R.S.® worked hand-in-hand to develop both the unique pickups and the unique mounting systems

screws instead of plastic rings, springs, and screws that float the pickups in oversized cavities. The
results of this solid connection are superior tone and less chance of pickup squeal at high volume.

UNCOMPROMISING VIBE
The point at which a guitar neck meets the body is the
Bermuda Triangle of sound. Not only is it where vibrations
traditionally disconnect as one material meets another,
it’s also the point where alignment goes haywire due
to the sheer physical stress. Ken Parker solved all of
that with our revolutionary, multi-fingered neck joint.
A marvel of physics, it contributes to the evenness of
the sound and resists the inevitable warping that sends
other guitars out of tune.

THE ANATOMY OF PERFECT SOUND
HAND MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY THE FINEST LUTHIERS
Weight: 5 lbs.
2 VOICES OR 2000
Parker’s dual pickup systems work together to deliver electric,
acoustic, or a mix of the two sounds. Our Custom Seymour
Duncan® pickups produce powerful electric guitar tones
while our ghost piezo pickups, designed by Graphtec®
specifically for Parker, sense each string individually, providing
the lush, complex tones of an acoustic guitar. The two systems
are blended by a stereo preamp that allows you to mix the
volumes and tones onboard. A “smart” switching jack senses
stereo or mono cable and routes the signals accordingly.

wider range of attainable tones.
The DF842 is identical to the DF824 with
the exception of a full 24 frets and different
pickup configuration. The full two octave
fingerboard allows players to hit the notes
they need that are simply unobtainable on
a 21 or 22 fretboard. For those that prefer
a double humbucker layout, the Maxx Fly
model features a Seymour Duncan® SH2
Jazz neck pickup that features an ar ticulate
and clear tone with smooth sustain. The
Seymour Duncan® TB4 bridge pickup
provides high output and just the right
blend of sustain and distor tion.

is one of the most advanced guitars
ever built. Designed by Adrian and

string signals are also mixed together
