Re: Springs

Interesting. @vjmanzo It's been awhile since I've posted, how did the testing go and is there any update you could share?

Re: Springs

Interesting to see so many asks for 10s, makes me wonder if the 10s are just more popular, more prone to failure, etc. Given the age of these instruments and the fact the 9 came installed from the factory, I could see how the extra 10 spring could have been lost, so perhaps they are just rarer overa...

Re: Parker Guitars Feature Set and Factory Tour 2005

Wow that is incredible, thanks for posting. Amazing craftsmanship. Can certainly appreciate the technology and precision involved when these were manufactured vs a traditional slab of wood like a les paul. Such a dedication to QC and consistency. I wonder how many Parker guitars were even sold? Betw...
