From Our Research Team:

The Evolution of Guitars

Ever the innovative company, Parker guitars is continually tweaking and modifying to achieve perfection. The Parker PDF70 is no exception. Parker's new PDF line features a new radial neck joint that creates better transfer of tone from neck to body with no neck slippage. The PDF70 has a lightweight basswood body and ebony fingerboard. A new flared headstock provides strength for a slimmer neck profile and more comfortable playing. The Parker vibrato system and locking tuners finish off this modern wonder. Just play the Parker PDF70, and you'll see why it's the continuing evolution of guitars!

Parker PDF70 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Incredibly lightweight
  • Slimmer, stronger, more comfortable neck
  • Stellar tone

Incredibly lightweight
The Parker PDF70's lightweight basswood body will astound you. It's incredible how lightweight this guitar is when you hear its considerable tone and sustain. Parker's innovative design maximizes tone without shoulder-stressing weight.

Slimmer, stronger, more comfortable neck
You may have noticed the new flared headstock on the Parker PDF70. It looks distinctive, but serves to strengthen the neck as well, allowing a slimmer profile without sacrificing strength. The result is a highly playable neck that's comfortable and easy to navigate. And with the PDF70's new radial neck joint, more energy is transferred from the strings to the guitar for maximum tone.

Stellar tone
Dual Duncan USM humbuckers squeeze every ounce of tone out of the Parker PDF70. The neck pickup is specifically positioned to get the "classic neck-position tone". No matter what style of music you play, the Parker PDF70 is ready to perform!

Parker PDF70 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Innovative new guitar design with a focus on comfort and playability, and great tone too!
  • Classic Parker body design is lightweight and comfortable to play
  • New radial neck joint is stronger and maximizes energy transfer from strings to body
  • New flared headstock strengthens neck, allowing for a slimmer neck profile
  • Duncan USM humbucking pickups put out great tone
  • Color: Pearl Red

Parker Continues To Shine

Music Background: Active/Studio Musician playing classic rock and blues
Where to start! This guitar is unmistakably Parker. It is super lightweight and easy to play. The neck feels fantastic and is very fast, and you can access the upper frets with no problems. The carved... read more [+] mahogany body provides a warmth to the tone and the Duncan USM pick-ups more than get the job done with a nice sound for a variety of musical styles, and can be upgraded, if desired, with no problems thanks to improved pick-up mounting. The guitar features Parkers exclusive radial Neck Joint to prevent slippage of the neck, locking tuners, Parkers Vibrato system, 3 way pickup selector, Ebony fingerboard and a 25.5 inch scale length. The guitar is visually stunning to look at with a beautifully done gloss finish (I have the red).
Overall at this price point, this guitar is, in my opinion, amongst the leading candidates. It is serviceable on stage, in the studio, or just for enjoying at home. I use it for all 3. Try it, you'll be glad you did. close [-]
