- Parker playability, acoustic tone!
The “butterbean”-style tuners are smooth and solid, and a carefully shaped bone nut guides the strings over a zero fret, which was chosen to both provide ideal string height over the first fret, and deliver a consistent sound between open and fretted notes. The guitar plays superbly, thanks to its low action and polished frets, and the intonation is tuneful over the entire span of the neck. The P(E’s body shape is interesting. The upper bout looks like a Breedlove’s, the oval soundhole is reminiscent of a Selmer’s, and the cutaway’s angled horn has an aura of B.C. Rich. It all works, though, and while the P9E doesn’t look particularly Parker-like, it definitely exudes a similarly strong visual identity.
