Same as everyone else said, I got mine in Transparent Emerald Green.
Sound
:

Piezo's are very sensitive, but with the right volume and amp sound very much like a real acoustic. The humbuckers go from tons of bass, to sparkling highs. The overall sound is very rich. I play through a Fender ProSonic and use the external speaker into a P.A. system with dual 15 inch woofers at 300 watts each.
Action, Fit, & Finish

By far the best looking guitar I've ever seen! One piece, carbon fiber /glass epoxy fretboard, no pickguard. Looks like a classical guitar, yet at the same time fits in perfectly when I play Metallica. When I got it everything was pretty much adjusted perfectly, it has the lowest action I've ever played. The fretboard is also the fastest I've ever played. The only flaw I've found in over a year of playing it is the 16th fret on the low E is a little high. Everything else is solid. If you've never picked one up before, do it slowly, it only ways about three pounds!
Reliability/Durability

The paint does chip very easily, I'm just very carefull with it. I know that everything will last for a long time, I meen, look at what it's made out of (stainless steele hardened frets!). The only reason i would carry a backup is in case I snapped a string, with a tremolo it does go out of tune a little.

Overall Rating

Played for only four years, obviously I'm good enough to own a Parker and admit it. I also own a crappy Epiphone, it was under a hunderd bucks, my first guitar when I was picking it up. Owning a Parker makes it a lot easyer to get better. If they did change one thing it would be in the shape, the top of the guitar used to jab me between the ribs, but I've gotten used to it. If they filed it down a little it would be more comfortable. When comparing this guitar I though of everything else I've ever played, which is basically everything else. I spend a lot of time in music stores, I've played nearly every Gibson, from the Studio Lite to the Elegant, Fenders, PRS, ESP, Jackson, Martin, G&L, Godin, etc...
