Now that's odd.

 

[Speedy Fingers]

If that is actually real, I'm very glad they never went into production.

 

[drmosh]

Aside from the headstock and EMGs, I like it

how so?

 

[DavyH]

That's a good take on the V shape - not as clumsy as a lot of them. Don't like the headstock that much, but otherwise not bad.

 

[Elysian]

looks a lot like a vixen...

Interesting, but I doubt it's real due to the Floyd. Parker's got a very good trem of their own that they use on all Parker trem-equipped guitars. The EMG's are also very odd for a Parker, they do passives and piezo's exclusively at the moment.

It's not a bad looking V though.

It's a prototype. IE a testing bed for something new, different from what they've done, just because it doesnt have the proprietary parker bridge, or different pickups in no way means it isn't a Parker.

Headstock?

 

[Battousai]

dont seem like a parker to me..

all their guitars use modern composites, fibres etc in their builds...

i can get them building a V shape but that none of that guitar has any of the Parker style at all..

also wasnt the hornet one of their old single cut parkers? why would they assign the same name to a V?

it looks very very fishy

Yeah it really does.

 

[Elysian]

just looking at the detailed pics now, look at the closeup of the fretboard, at the edge of the fretboard wood in between the fretwire, its ragged as hell, thatd never leave parker's shop. also notice in the shot showing the case, first of all, not a fitted case, its a standard gibson V case, and second of all, its a bolt on. i really don't think this is a parker at all, especially when they've used the hornet name in the past.

Parker Guitars Forum - The Only Parker "V" Ever Made for Sale on eBay

Very odd - people over at the Parker forum apparently "in the know" are saying it IS a prototype from Parker.

I checked the seller too and he's a HUGE seller of Parker.

Geez, another company ripping off the Vixen? I'll have to show this to Bernie, should be good for some laughs.

 

[Kagami]

doesn't look like a vixen too me, doesn't have the god-awful curved outside

Jeff, it's an obvious derivative of that, even if they changed things a bit. I think that thing is hideous and the Vixens are awesome, but I guess not everyone will agree

 

[Speedy Fingers]

how so?

I really dislike V's in general, and that guitar is just not typical of any of Parker's designs.

 

[zimbloth]

That's how it's done

 

[lctdmf]

Anyone catch how the description says "All gold hardware"? When in fact it's all black?

Just thought I would point that out for fun

 

[lefty robb]

wow, I think thats the first Epic Fail I've seen from Parker...
