When is a tele not a tele
Okay so after managed to keep GAS under fairly under control until last week I've now added this little beauty to the fold. Not really had chance to try her in anger but from the pieces I played after restringing her I'm not sure that my tele's are gonna get a lot of love in the near future. Ladies & Gentlemen I present the -
Parker P-36
Full specs are =
Ash body
Satin Vintage Tinted Hard Rock Maple Neck
Vintage Tinted Maple Fingerboard
Black Pickguard
22 Medium Frets
25 ½” Scale Length
10”-13” Neck Radius
Seymour Duncan “52” Tele pickups (aftermarket swap)
Mini Grover Machineheads
Fishman Powerbridge VT Bridge
1 Volume, 1 Tone Control & Piezo Volume
3 Way Switch (standard pickups)
3 way Mag/Piezo selector (Piezo alone, piezo/standard pickups combined & standard pickups alone)

Full review of this and the Vintage VS-6 MRMA later in the week

You know, I totally forgot that Parkers were a thing. Haven't seen one in years.
I remember when those Powerbridges came out. Do you find it a usable tone? I've never been one for piezos in my acoustics, but the Fishman Aura made a big difference

Re: When is a tele not a tele
I've picked up two different parkers in shops. They both felt and played sooo good. The shapes were not traditional enough for me, but man..sometimes I wonder how nice it would be to have one

Daaaaaamn! That's pretty hot. I've never played a parker, but I've always liked the look and heard good things, and the versatility of the piezos is a big draw for me as well. Can you MIDI one of those with graphtech ghosts, I wonder? That's a really neat guitar you have there.
This is an excellent rectangle

OH FFS HERE COMES OFFSET POLICE AGAIN!!!
Nah jk
I never cared about parkers, this one looks kinda cool tho. Like a tele crossed a portal to a geometric dimension and had some if it's lines suffer the consequences.
