    Just a damn shame you can’t get that guitar anymore, it was a fantastic instrument. Ken Parker was way ahead of his time.

      You can thank US Music Corporation (owner of Washburn) for that. They do nothing better than kill guitar manufacturers. Worst guitar I ever tried in a store was a Washburn (one of those stupid Dime models with the graphics the body and wrap-around bridges).
      I've played $100CAD Squiers that were better, and cost 1/8 as much. As soon as they bought Parker, it went in the same direction. Because of the niche target-market, that killed it even more quickly.
      Just look at those ridiculous singlecut models they released. They literally did away with *everything* that made Parker special. The only thing they kept was the neck joint, and because there's no composite on it, it's now far too weak.

    That “FLUX” idea reminds me of a lot of Frank Zappa’s music, where little snippets of edited words, sounds or music, will abruptly interrupt the flow of the music as it merges into something else altogether!

    I remember Ken Parker said this guitar had a neck so strong it never needed trussroad, but guitarists need to fiddle with their guitars setup all the time, so they put trussroad in, and had to tuned the strength down a bit, because otherwise trussroad would brake when overtighten 😂

    I really dig AB and his Parker DFAB842 MaxxFly but my God those things started at just south of $11,000 and I don't know any musicians that can part with that much cheese for an axe in one sitting. Although I am sure they are out there somewhere.

      "they" dont want you buying high-end gear. its a club, just like classical music with its million dollar violins and 250K$ trumpets - and youre not in it.
      you are allowed, however, to plink around on your ipad with the apps that make "doink doink doink" sounds. or Belew's FLUX app that randomly interrupts and reformats existing music into nonsensical gibberish, apparently purely for the sake of novelty.

      He said he uses the Variax models in the studio. On my Fijigen Variax 700 It took me about an hour to fill the Custom 1 & Custom 2 positions on that rotary switch with all my instruments and tunings in the Line 6 Workbench software, but his Parker doesn't seem to have the CAT5 jack, unless it's under the back cover. I'm fascinated by this.
