I had my dream guitar built.
  • Light weight (5lb), balanced (no neck dive), comfortable contoured body. It feels like I'm wearing it instead of holding it
  • Great upper fret access
  • Hardened stainless steel frets on a 14" radius 25.5"scale neck
  • Straight string path, Sperzel locking tuners, and a vibrato system that keeps the guitar in tune all night
  • Master volume knob near the picking hand
  • Duncan P-Rail pickups so I can get P90, Rail, Series humbucker and Parallel humbucker sounds
  • Piezo pickup under the bridge that can be played independently or blended with the magnetic pickups


I had it built in the custom shop before Parker bit the dust. It's the Parker DF522NN (the NN is for Notes Norton). The only problem I have is that I no longer have GAS. I can look at other beautiful guitars and appreciate their looks, but I'm so happy playing this one that I have no urge to buy another.
