I wonder if there are snake rustlers ?

Actually I quite like the look of it (dunno why though as I don't like flash lookind instruments), for a Parker that is.

Must admit I've never liked the look of Parkers, but the light weight is very appealing.

Remember when Dave Navarro was advertising them a few years ago? Apparently he wanted a caption saying "at least it sounds good!"

Quote from: Philly Q

I'm no expert on snakes, but don't they shed their skin periodically? Not sure if the shed skin would be any use as a material though, perhaps it has to be a full skin from a dead animal.

good point actually.

Ive never been a fan of parkers, mainly because of their strange headstock design, but recently ive started to think they look kinda cool in the right finishes, and the quality of them looks brilliant aswel! im gonna try and get my hands on one this weekend, anyone had any experience with them?

Yeah. I played a parker fly quite a few times. Awesome guitars. The neck is very fast, and the guitar sound is very clear.

Why ANYONE would want a poor snake to die for a guitar is beyond me.

It's not like people in Africa and Asia need MORE rats and the like to infest their houses... jeez.

I'm a big parker fan, I'd have one of these if A) I could justify buying a third and B) could afford to buy a third.

I have to say, anyone getting on their high horse about frivilous use of a dead animal for fashion best not wear leather.
