This.
My BFF had a Parker nitefly sometime ago. Seriously, that thing was off the chain. They practically play themselves, and sound amazing.
Patrick:
I've played a few of em. I played a carbon fiber Nitefly, it felt too insubstantial which really threw me off. Lighter than my acoustic, wtf? I also played a wooden one, not sure what kind of wood though, and it was better, but just as shitty to palm mute as a Strat (FUCK YOU, VOLUME KNOB) with the bonus of maybe 2 more frets' worth of access. Mmmeh.

That is a Korean made prototype. Not exactly representative of the line.
Lummer both of mine are Niteflys. (Chief difference in these and the more costly "Flys" are the bolt on necks). But that neck is really gold. I'm able to do things on these guitars that I would not have probably executed as well on either of my fenders, or yamaha. Mostly that is just my skill level. But clearly if you are Adrian Belew you can eke out a bit more. :P
Also, I don't think I would characterize myself as 'obsessed' with Parkers. MEh, for now I'm keeping all 5 guitars. I played the Yamaha for practice last night, but mostly due to being acoustic electric and not wanting to plug in for band practice. Our space is small enough we can run the drum machine recordings off of my wife's old cricket phone into 2 computer speakers, she plugs into the Mark Bass and I strum with no amp or microphone. I'm glad I went back to round wounds on the AEX500 though. The flats were too muted to play much unplugged. If you are in Brooklyn tonight we're at Hank's Saloon 9pm-ish. :psyduck:
