NGD: Parker PDF80

[AlexQ1993]

This is the first 6 string I've had in quite a long time. First off I want to say this thing is incredible aesthetically, but there were some slight cosmetic flaws on the fretboard that were not made clear in the ad on eBay. It doesn't have a proper set up yet at all, but it does feel great none the less. The neck is unfinished and comparable to that of an EBMM JP6 standard. Any tips on adjusting a Parker bridge would be greatly appreciated.

What's this?? Looks like they stole the headstock from Blackmachine!!

Seriously though, Parkers are hella awesome!

Sorry to hear about the cosmetic flaws on the fretboard, looks ....ing killer none the less.

I like those a lot. Is that the "radial neck joint"?

On a side note, can anyone explain the radial neck joint to me? I don't know what it is or why it's different

Haha, I'm pretty sure Blackmachine stole from Parker.

Any tips on adjusting a Parker bridge would be greatly appreciated.

There are two hex nuts on the backside of the bridge that adjust the height. To adjust the saddles, simply loosen the hex nut on each saddle, adjust as needed and retighten. Since this is a lower-end model, the springs adjust the same way as any other standard trem.

Congrats. I've actually never played a mid-grade Parker, only Flys and the cheapest imports, but I've never played a bad one.

HNGD man. a PDF80/100 is still on my want-list.

Lovely guitar! My favorite parker I think as I'm not usually a massive fan!

That truss cover is driving the little OCD demon inside me a little mad though
