Phil McKnight, the "Know Your Gear" YouTube guy, was a Parker dealer for 10 years and in this YT post he explains how he had to buy a group of rare guitars from a seller in order to get back this one Parker that he had originally ordered when he was a shop owner.
It was one of two such models (different colours) he ordered at the time. And it's a stunner!
Watch the full episode to see everything in the haul, or if you want to cut to the really good stuff I've bookmarked that for you.

Yes sir! It's either jewelry or a new purse, that usually calms things down

I guess that's a much better arrangement than the anecdotal husband who tries to sneak in new guitar purchases without his wife knowing.InsideInfo wrote: Mon Oct 07, 2024 3:02 am Yes sir! It's either jewelry or a new purse, that usually calms things down![]()
