This was interesting to read. I wonder if the 30k guitars made was in the total run of the company, or only the ones made under Ken's leadership.

Hi @alembicman5—Ken is referring to the guitars made during his time at Parker Guitars.

Thanks @vjmanzo
Would that be all Parker branded guitars including the imports or just the USA Fly models?
The more I read about Parker, the deeper the rabbit hole goes...

Happy to help!
I’ve spoken about that number, 30,000, a few times with
@Ken Parker and his former associate at Parker Guitars. It’s an estimate for sure—possibly a high estimate—but they were speaking about Flys and NiteFlys and not the imports, which were made by Cort as noted in the
History thread.
