naaa... looks fugly....

same thing happened when i made a bolt on lp out of a huge chunk of ply when i was in highschool....

I know quality figured timber is getting rarer but...

Perhaps if they made it a bolder colour, less like a boiled steak (bleeeeehhhh) blue or purple or something.

Doesn't have a scratch on a bullseye LP.

I wonder if Gibson were happy about a pic coming out of their factory like that...

been wondering where the wide tulip pieces been goin


well now , some of me suspicions been confirmed!

P.S. tht LP is righteously spectacular imo

on other guitar forums (parker guitars is the lastest one i was on, esp too i think, and a few others that iv been on from time to time, emg, seymour duncan.... ) they run small group factory tours from time to time.....
theres videos on the forums and pictures taken with phones and video cameras.....
all the newer stuff is leaked to a degree.... they have a run through of the factory by a worker or supervisor or the man behind the guitar.....
its all done in good spirits,....

im not sure if it was one of those group factory tour things.... maybe, who knows


on a side note.... the videos on the parker site.... they are pretty good if you can hunt them down..... the parker are a really interesting design, and a reeally interesting process to make......
its also interesting hearing mr parker go through the factory and talk along the way about it all.....

same with the pickup making factory tours......

Thanks for that info Andrew, I will check out the parker site.
Cheers Bob

you will be interested when he starts talking about the use of carbon fibre and wood

I have always loved parkers, the best design IMO to come out in years. Its a personal taste thing I know, but...

In the pic is Mr. Frehley......Gibson are happy to let him do just about anything...!!! And why not...I'm sure he's helped sell a few .... like Slash and Randy Rhoads have I suppose.
