Great guitar, only issue Ive found is the pick guard tends to warp and lift up right above the bridge pick-up, directly below the strings. Not a huge deal and easy fix. Being a Parker collector I had a hard time finding a need for this guitat until I tuned it down a half step and start playing metal/Hard-rock with it... its surprisingly very clear in that tuning and with some high gain/distortion. 👌
@markguieb3613 I use 9s on all my Parkers. Specifically the Flys models. I have a nite fly tuned down to D standard and a Fly down to C# standard... both with 9s. They both play great. The P36 I had (which I sold recently) always had 9s and was great. I've used 10s before and really felt/heard no benefit from it.
You’re not living in Wichita if you have not played that Chili Peppers song with local legend Chris Glamann playing the bass line. Wichita always got the whole “alternative” thing, long before the rest of us did. 🤷♂️
Just got one of these guitars and I love it
Ive got mine for $200 on reverb 9 years ago. I love mine best playing guitar i have.

What string gauge do you have on yours to play in half step?
Do you use 9’s or 10’s?

hmmmm... my P36 has a push toggle switch to enable/disable the piezo. Does this mean someone modded mine or is your modded :)?
Yours has been modified..
Mine weights 6.6 lbs
Does she weigh more than 3.5kg?
Yes. It's made of wood so it weighs more. Probably 8 lbs.
@SOALNightLive to be fair. Parker Flys are made of wood and weigh as little as 3.5lbs up to 5lbs... but yeah, this one is heavy. Solid Swamp ash body
Please tune the guitar.....😢
some lessons, might have helped too
