Parker Archtop in France?

[moonrayal]

This is a bit of a shot in the dark...I just want to try one of Ken's Archtops. And I live in France. Any ideas on how these two things can come together?
(I guess I am hoping that an archtop is in a store here, as unlikely as that sounds....)

Hi @moonrayal; I’ve forwarded this thread to @Ken Parker and his team. I believe there are a few customers of Ken’s near you, so if you’re seriously considering buying one, I think that can be arranged.

Thanks VJ! Yeah, buying one is most likely not going to happen, but just to try it out/see it would be nuts!

For sure! I think if it's just to try one, it might be better to try to coordinate a trip to the States (if you ever come to the States) with something like the Woodstock Luthier Invitational or something like that. Ken does speak internationally, so it might be good to keep an eye on his website from time to time.

I'll also just mention that I've always got hosting a "Parker-Con" in the back of my mind But that would also be in the U.S.
