I love the fact that guitar builder Ken Parker doesn’t seemed constrained to ‘classic’ designs and building guitars the same as they always have. He’s one of the few builders with fresh ideas taking risks and trying to push the art of guitar design forward. And I mean in a good way that actually makes sense(I’m looking at you Gibson Firebird X).
Ken is mostly famous for designing the Parker “Fly” line of guitars. A very polarizing design that I initially hated, but have grown to really love. Lately it seems he has been focusing on archtops. Bringing the same ‘question everything’ design philosophy that is sure to keep interesting guitars coming from his shop.
