Awesome haul man! Any chance you wanna part with that 513? Asking for a friend.
Starting bid.. $1!
@@Miguelsotelo0 How about tree fiddy.
I was very close to buying one if those. I went with a fender strar HSS
loved nashville noises
This Parker is absolutely insanely gorgeous!! The shape, the color, so crazy cool guitar!!
I still have the Lime-Gold Parker! Very cool...
I own 17 Parkers , they had a great shop near my home here in Chicago (Mundelein)....there are no better instruments on this planet!!......congrats on the DragonFly!!!!! ...its gorgeous!!!! ...I have been a Parker nut since their beginnings ....2016 broke my heart- when Ken and the beautiful instruments soon vanished......the American built ones, they are all works on art!!!...
I thought I was out of control. I have 7! Nice hoard!
That dragonfly is gorgeous! Congratulations for getting it back. My favorite Parker is the Concert Bronze and the few sellers there are want ridiculous money for them - between 6 and 10 grand. I'll keep dreaming.
I love your enthusiasm as you talk about this collection, but especially the Parker... like a little kid at Christmas. Thanks Phil, and congrats on such a great purchase!!
As soon as I saw Parker on the case I was like “Oh hell yeah!”. Was a beautiful guitar. Congratulations on scoring such a great collection.
I normally dont want much guitars anymore but that natural PRS is just something else
I'm a Parker fan, and that one is drop-dead gorgeous. I can see why that's the one you were really after.
Beautiful collection, Phil. Love your excitement & enthusiasm!
Brilliant Phil and you've kept my 20 year record running. Twice each year, or more, conversations with friends include, "My worst-ever gear mistake you ask? Selling my Parker Fly!" Seriously Phil; congratulations. Seeing Adrian Belew with his custom Fly several times over the years convinced me of my blunder. Good on you Sir!
i had a regular Fly for a couple of months last year. Definitely would get one again if there'd be more room...
Lots of comments on your acquisition, but man, that dude had a nice collection and letting it go shows a strength I don't have. I'm happy for you both. You for getting what you wanted and him for being able to let them go. Enjoy!
That EVH crop circle guitar made me want to just hug your ankle and cry! GLORIOUS!!!
Congrats man. They are all pretty nice. I hope the seller is well
Amazing guitars! Very cool. Thanks for sharing Phil
That Parker is the best one I’ve ever seen. I want a deep dive on that guitar. That’s the Parker I would want. I don’t like the look of the others but that ones 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That Parker looks amazing! Metallic orange is one of my fav finishs!
That Swamp Ash 513 is a real gem! I have the newer 509 version and these are great guitars that PRS should continue to make!
Yup. I have a 513 in the Black/Gold wrap that an absolute dream.
yeah as soon as he said it was a prs they dont make anymore i thought 513.... such a neat guitar.
I’ve had a Parker since 2007. Absolutely love it. In fact my kids who are now grown are fighting over who gets it when I kick the bucket. Plays great, feels great and sounds awesome. Great pick up Phil.
Congrats on getting the Parker back! Beautiful guitar. And that EVH is really nice too.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Hope you have a great holiday and congratulations on the collectibles!
Clearly...this is an early very Merry Christmas for you Phil - so pleased you were able to reclaim your lost "unobtanium" guitar! Amazing how that happens sometimes.... ;^)
Nice collection of guitars there my friend!!!! That Parker Dragonfly is "fly"!!! Congratulations Phil!!! I like the EVH as well!!!
great collection.would be nice to see deep dive into all of them.
OMG. That Parker is my absolute Unicorn. Almost had the Lime Gold but it escaped me...
Please do a deepdive on the Dragonfly, Philp 🙏
I have a Dragonfly like that but with a flame maple veneer. Best guitar ever. Great post, Phil!
Congratulations on getting your dream guitar. It is absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy for you.
There aren't many quality videos about Parker guitars so I'm excited about your videos with it. I'd love to see and hear it in more detail. Congrats on the great purchase.
that is a pretty sweet selection of guitars hands down and well done buying that collection because evenn the guitars you really did not want are pretty amazing guitars!
Glad U made this one happen, Phil! Man, the finish on the "DragonFly" looks POSITIVELY DEEP...even on a one-dimensional UA-cam vid!! Kinda diggin' that EVH too!! ALL worthy "implements", to be sure!!
Obviously you have a great little collection with many memories your retail days. As always your passion and love of music comes through. Bravo…
Absolutely gorgeous Parker, congrats on getting a dream guitar!!!
Very cool! I'd love to hear them all played. Cheers.
Very cool guitars!! Thank you for sharing. Do you plan to re-sell some of the other guitars?
Good video wonderful collection. I think a person would be proud to own only any one so I think this is amazing. I play mostly acoustic now but started electric in the 80s which many say is backwards . Never heard of Parker but looks amazing . I live in a small town and no store had a Parker I ever saw . But I could tell it was high quality . Nothing like the feeling we get when we purchase new gear especially when it is a guitar the emotion just repeats itself every time very cool
Very nice! I would assume that Parker is a little extra special because you personally spec’ed it out and ordered it. That would mean a lot to me too. Great purchase!
Man! What a collection! Digging that EVH! Never seen that finish before. Need to do a deep dive on that, just because of how good it looks on screen! You’ll be lucky to get a pair of socks for Christmas this year after that purchase! The wife might just put you out on the corner with the KYG cup to collect spare change!
Love that Parker. I can hear as you talk, there's an emotional connection to that one. Enjoy it!
very excited to watch this phil!! happy for ya :)
I'd really like to see a crop circle demo and even tho I've never been into Parker, I'd like to see a demo on that rare gem as well! \m/
You know it’s going to get good, when THAT 594 isn’t “the” guitar he was after. That thing is gorgeous.
That Parker is absolutely perfect, I'd go for that one as well from that collection!
Great collection Phil!
Very interesting ! Thanks for making this video and telling the story.
Congradulations on having the Parker you wanted and sold,back in your shop and hands. Really makes me miss my Italian Plum Mojo-So Bad. Parker conical necks play like nobody elses. 💯
I can hear the excitement in your voice. Glad you got that Parker back.
just got home from vacation today,love the vid Phil
Those are all beautiful! That Parker though... it's a nice one. You really do like burnt orange! It must be tough to be a guitar store owner as I'm sure a lot of guitars you would have wanted have slipped through your hands over the years. Really nice acquisition all around.
That’s terrific Phil. Congratulations on a great acquisition. Hoping you do a deep dive on that Dragon Fly.
Hey bud. Great info thank you! Question, how can you get financing for a startup music shop? More specifically, an initial or start up inventory. Thanks!
Very cool collection Phil! - drop a reverb link if you decide to part with that McCarty 😉
Love the PRS McCarty with NF pickups. Great collection. Congrats.
Me, too! I would buy that in a minute!
I knew it had to be a USA Parker guitar... simply the greatest electric guitar ever made.. NOTHING comes close to them. Have by pre-refined fly deluxe for 27 years now.. and still my favorite.
Dang, I love that single-top PRS McCarty.
Congrats, very kewl video! & looking forward to your "Rolled Edges" how to video.....
That Parker is sweet, I love the color. My favorite is the PRS 513! I love versatile guitars that you can get different tone out of.
I love the body contouring on the Parker. Beautiful and practical all in one.
Nice to see KYGPhillip so stoked! Congrats Phillip!
All nice but that PRS 513 was my favorite. You are a lucky man. Congrats!
I love Parker guitars! I traded in a bunch of gear and worked hard as a kid to get a p38 as my first non-gifted/starter-kit axe. I also have a Nitefly and Fly that I love to death, and have always wanted to find a Dragon/Maxfly. That orange one is especially nice, and I hope you enjoy it as much as humanly possibly. Congrats!
This was a great video Phil. I feel like it is new guitar day here in Salt Lake City just for the watchin’ of it all. Thanks
I love the Parker Dragonfly! I've never seen one before, and the metallic orange and ergonomic styling look great! I'd love to see an in-depth review, perhaps a comparison with your other Parker?
Phillip this is absolutely your best thumbnail pic: you standing behind a vertical wall of guitar cases waving, I luv it. Hilarious too, now you need a new recording from your wife about buying guitars😎😁⭐️
I listen to your podcasts nightly and while I sleep your shows continue to stream. Excellent content and a peaceful night.
That Parker! 🤩Congrats! Very good of him to sell it back to you, obviously where it belongs.
I met Ken Parker at the Montreal guitar show years ago. Super nice guy. His Archtop was one of the most Beautiful guitars I've ever seen.
Hey Phil thanks for sharing
I picked up a MaxxFly just this past February for my birthday. Tobacco burst with a Floyd Rose. I am completely blown away by that guitar and do not ever see letting it go.
Nice! I would definitely like a deep dive on the Parker, EVH, and the 513.
I'm loving the color of that Parker, I have a weak spot for anything in that burnt orange metallic shade. Recently got a Sun Valley Super Shredder in Lambo orange and every time I look at it it blows me away.
I owned a 7 string version of the metallic orange Maxxfly and while it was my dream guitar for many years, it just didn’t play as well as the prerefined Flys that I owned, so I sold it. Still very beautiful!
That's a really nice Parker and I love that 513. I have a 2008 PRS 513 and it's amazing. The only thing that could be better, for me, would be if it had the pattern thin neck instead of the wide fat profile.
I picked up a DF422 FR (used) some years back for very little money. It's a bolt-on all wood neck with a natural satin finish, but US made and has a Floyd. DragnFly contours. I love it. Light as a feather, says in tune, and so ergonomic. Glad I snagged it when I did. The used price of Parkers continues to climb. Parkers are so easy to play.
The Dragonfly is gorgeous! Color, body and headstock shape, pick up configuration... I'd love to own one of these.
The PRS McCarty is priceless, Phil, you should (I'm sure you will) do a video on that specific guitar & you should reach out to Paul for his opinion on such a fine instrument & super congratulations on that beautiful Dragonfly!!
I had a PRS core Mira. One of the best guitars I've ever owned.
Sweet collection, Phil.
Congratulations! All guitars are very nice but that Parker is totally amazing
Congrats Phil, love the Parker. Please play it in a future episode.
man that color is incredible. and to have it on a parker. I love the upper horn much better on that . Congratulations
Great haul Phil!
I had one of the import PDF60 models from Sweetwater. Eggshell white with ebony board. When I received it, two of the locking tuners were completely seized up. So Sweetwater gave me three options, return for refund, return for replacement, or they would send me new tuners. I chose the last option. Two days later they showed up, an entire set of six which was nice. Once I got it playing I really fell in love with it. I was going to whack in a Seymour Duncan JB all along but the stock pickup sounded so good I just left it. It had a vibrato that only went one way, you couldn't pull up. But it stayed in tune so I left it as well. I kept it for years before trading it. Wish I hadn't now. I see them on Reverb for around $400-ish. Seeing this video I may just get me another one, or a real one like the Adrian Belew signature model. And those other guitars you got are also sweet! The PRS 513 is one sexy machine!
Love the channel and thought this was very fun!
Glad you were able to get that Parker. Enjoy it.
Always LOVED 513!!!! Always wanted to try a Parker. They always looked amazing. Reminds me of Vernon Reid
Congrats on finding one! A beauty
i bought a dragonfly several years ago when i hurt my back, because it was so insanely light. beautiful instrument and one of those "i wish i'd never sold it" items.
That Parker is simply stunning. I really enjoyed every second of this video!!
That Dragonfly is so so cool! Glad you got it back.
Love that color on the dragon fly.
It's really sad that anything you buy is only worth what someone is willing to pay. For instance, to me the latest Epiphone Les Paul Juniors are exactly the same as the latest Gibson Les Paul Juniors but the price difference is about $1000.00. I have two of the Epiphones, I bought one that the neck was snapped at the nut and I took it in and repaired it. It sounds better to me than the one that was not damaged. It's probably a compassionate psychic thing in my brain. Your Dragonfly is a beautiful guitar and the story is absolute.
I had to look up the price for a used Crop Circle guitar, I have one that has only been played to tune it. I had no idea that they had that much value. I bought it only to collect...glad to see it has value...lol
Congrats Phil !
Wow! Congrats!
Wow that color!! Congrats!!!!
Waited to see what the guitar was that caused all this, and wasn't disappointed! Good catch!
That is easily the most gorgeous Parker I've seen to date. Not a huge fan of the fly but that dragonfly body shape is awesome! Color is super cool as well.
I used to have one of the EVH circles and I really regret selling it; as soon as you took it out of the gig bag it brought back some painful memories! 😂
25 inch scale. Not 25.5 on the mccarty... looks amazing though. 👏
Would enjoy having you plug that Dragonfly in and giving a sound demo. Thanks 😎🤓
