at that price, it better be a 'Swiss army knife' of a guitar!

and I like Adrian Belew, but his signature guitar at that price oughta come with a bottle (or twenty) of Rogaine....

........i go to the same barber as joe satriani myself.... but at least me and joe shave ours......

way too much for a parker guitar and Belew isn't high profile enough either for a price tag like that.....

Yeah I thought Terry Nutkins done the Really Wild Show?
Anyway, that's not a guitar. It's way beyond that, and way beyond what I'll ever need. Nice to see though...

Adrian Belew has always push boundaries with guitars & effects.
The stuff he did in the early 80's with King Crimson is still hard to copy.

I have a Godin LGXT that has synth, acoustic and magnetic outputs. If I put a Fernandez sustainer in it would be close to the Parker. I'm not sure how much I would use the line 6 settings anyways.

+1..i wasn't knocking him as a guitarist or a musician..but he isn't really a high profile sort of guitarist whose sig model can command these prices plus parkers(whom i'm sure make very fine instruments) probably won't appeal to the majority who usually want a LP,Strat,Tele etc......

the three-voice Godin guitars are excellent..it wouldn't be too hard to put a sustainiac in there - just more batteries and switches! You could probably set up some kind of phantom power rig, in that case.
