“Green” ‘98 Classic on Reverb

Post by mmmguitar »

For anyone who missed out of VJ’s friend’s listing last year:

https://reverb.com/item/45618509-parker ... rald-green

For the record, it looks more like a transparent blue that’s yellowed with age - But that could be a trick of the lighting.

Oooh baby—and I love the ones that say “Classic” on the headstock 😊 Looks like it could use a good cleaning, but I believe that Fly logo on the back is actually gold—if it is like the one I sold last year, it’s also got gold fret markers.

Yup seems to be a feature on the transparent green Classics, the gold fret markers really give it a slightly special feel.

Very nice, BUT. . .

It would be a whole lot nicer if the seller would clean the flippin' crap off it and polish it before offering it for sale!
I just don't get why people do this, you wouldn't sell your car with dirty windows and covered in dust and mud would ya?! :evil:

Or, was it the other way around?

Or at least have the class to write “for sale” in the dust with your finger.

Yup very true. Just a bit of polish, a super shiny guitar and it's a whole world of a difference. Transparent green is a super beautiful colour.

Yup.
I didn't used to think so, then I picked up a Vintage brand VRS100 (PRS copy):

I have to agree, it's grown on me (and plays great too!)
