Parker Guitars "flies" into the Jazz box guitar world with the J Man and the J Cat. Both feature solid, carved spruce tops and also solid, carved maple backs to produce a clear, warm tone with full-size projection. The guitars feature unique cutaways allowing easy access to the upper frets for soloing, and ebony fingerboards with abalone inlays.

The PJ12 J Man (pictured) comes in a Sunburst finish and two Egnater humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls. The whole look of this instrument is set off by a "J Man" Pearl inlay on the headstock and two contemporary sound holes.

The PJ14 J Cat goes out in a Natural finish with a single floating Egnater humbucker and a very fancy abalone and mother of pearl Parker headstock inlay. The ebony tailpiece also features an abalone and mother of pearl inlay. The J Cat will sell for $4,500 MSRP while the J Man is $4,000. Both include deluxe hardshell cases and for much more about these new gems and the whole family of Parker guitars, go to www.parkerguitars.com.
