We really should have a page for Ken Parker and his new Archtops. He sold Parker Guitars a while ago and is on to some great new stuff that has no connection whatsoever to Parker guitars. In fact, the current Parker guitars has dumbed down his original Fly and are having real trouble manufacturing... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.153.135 (talk) 18:43, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

needs maintenance

Item removed: The official website states that the product line is being redesigned for release in 2018 once a new manufacturing partner is found ... unfortunately, JAM Instruments pulled this statement down, along with the website circa January, 2020. The official website is now unoccupied (5/11/2020)

The corporate site certainly appears to be that of an active operation, but I cannot readily locate ANY dealer offering actual current inventory. This situation ought to be monitored and the article kept updated, rather than the claims of the moment being pasted up by some fan as though immutable Truth.

While I'm here, I should note that the History section is terrible, a semi-random pile of trivia. For instance, what boob posted with the balance wheel on the face of the guitar with no explanation whatsoever of WTF a "balance wheel" is??

And why has no fannish effort been made to explain where Ken Parker went, or when?
