THE PARKER P-38: POWERFUL VERSATILITY The Parker P-38 is equipped with custom voiced Parker alnico magnetic pickups along with Fishman® piezo transducers mounted in a Wilkinson licensed vibrato bridge. These piezo transducers, or acoustic pickups, are integrated into each bridge saddle and respond directly to the acoustic energy of your Parker guitar's strings, providing a full-range acoustic sound quality. On their own, the piezo pickups produce a subtle and intimate acoustic guitar-like sound, but the true power of the P-38 is the ability to blend the piezo and magnetic signals together. A special Fishman active circuit allows you to mix the two types of signals right on the guitar! You can blend the piezo pickups with clean magnetic sounds to create bright percussive tones or with your favorite distortion settings for fat, two-guitar-like, mixes. You can even send the piezo and magnetic signals to two different amplifiers for an amazingly lush split sound. However you choose to blend (or split!) the sounds on your Parker P-38, the results are an exciting new range of hybrid clean and dirty tones!
