Thanks for the posts!! Man that Parker is pretty nice!!

That other chrome g1 looks cool too.... I still think the Tesla might fit the mold of what I want.... I guess that new fishman usb could save some $$$ too if I went with a Tesla and not the midi version.

Have you ever compared the tracking to other 13 pin guitars?

Curious to how much effect the ebony strip is on the bridge for improved tracking.. also if this could be made for other rmc piezo guitars???

It's the only 13 pin guitar I have. Tracking is good, although I don't have John McLaughlin's technique so I do get glitches. The ebony strip may help- again, I dont know since I haven't played others.

Was it much adjustment where the body connects with the neck? I've always been more a thumb over  the neck type player... wonder how i would go

I play classical style, so I was fine. No chance of thumb over after the 8th fret, but if you're worried about bending, beyond that point the bends are easier anyway I guess?I struggle more with bending a whole tone on fret 2 or whatever, which you can still do.

That Parker is sweet - but not $3600 sweet! The Ego is a more "reasonable" $2600.

Ooh. This one looks sweet, and at the right price ...

Heh, didn't expect to see my guitar here like this. I'm trying to sell it to mitigate the costs of installing a GK pickup in a Yamaha SG-1000 since I can't do it myself. And with studies keeping me super occupied, I have little to no reason to keep two GK-ready guitars in my room.

Mine previously referenced is also for sale on eBay:

I'm moving on from 13 pin gear, and could use the money for some dental expenses.

Apologies if I've hi-jacked this thread to advertise it.
