Ken Parker 7-String Acoustic Archtop (used,1993)

This beautiful guitar's name is "STORMY"

• Highly figured Maple back & sides on this 7 string archtop from Ken Parker
• Hazelficte (Bearclaw) alpine spruce top
• Venetian cutaway
• This was Ken's last guitar with “F-ish” holes, and a Gibson style adjustable  bridge.
• The stunning inlay of Moon and Clouds on the fretboard was designed by Ken Parker and executed by  Vinny Fodera of Brooklyn's Fordera Guitars.
• Elevated fretboard
• Pernambuco pickguard, bridge, heelcap, bindings and fretboard.
• It is worth mentioning, that Ken's buddy, TJ Thompson got roped into helping get this guitar out the door by installing the Pernambuco edge binding all around while Ken was one-armed-paper-hanger busy with the early part of the manufacturing project known as the Parker FLY GUITAR!
• Satin Gold Sperzel tuning machines which are countersunk
• Pernambuco headstock front and back plates
• Uber cool tail piece that was hand fabricated by Ken Parker from sheet aluminum, and the finish was created by Marvin Jensen, a close friend, mentor, and collaborator of his. The finish is a result of a unique and very complex suite of actions, based on a series of anodizing (aluminum dying) events that Marvin Jensen invented.
• This guitar is ultra light in weight and abides in a custom Calton flight case.
