You’ve all heard of Parker Guitars but I imagine most of you will be unaware that Ken Parker also makes Archtop guitars under the similar moniker Ken Parker Archtops and they look absolutely stunning. You can immediately spot that they are designed by Ken Parker due to the familiar Parker headstock although with a small difference as you can see in this photo. Pictured above is a guitar called Olive Branch made from a combination of Red Spruce and highly figured Koa, there is also a bit of Pernambuco here and there too including those tuning pegs. The string height can be adjusted by the player with a simple hidden screw that elevates the neck, adjusting the action without the need to retune. The tailpiece is anodized aluminum, and also is adjustable for height.
