You can’t make an instrument from indifferent sounding materials. Ken Parker’s understands the materials he uses in his guitars. The physical forces used in creating sound on a string allows him to create the most compelling Guitars. Wood is at the heart of every Parker guitar. They use wood and rock-solid modern fibers and then make a thin skin of carbon and glass fibers bond to the wooden guitar. This is what is so different about Parker Guitars. They are a new kind of instrument optimized to respond to the vibrations of guitar strings.

You can’t make exceptional guitars without exceptional guitar-makers. At the Parker shop, skilled artisans design, create and apply specialized tools to complete each demanding step along the line. Every handcrafted instrument embodies their skill and care.
