Nylon Strung Ken Parker - could interest some

Is that a different pickup than stock? It has two adjustment screws on the bass side and modern flat black mounting screws.

Did Joe Pass NOT care much for his Ibanez JP20??

On the contrary, I know quite a lot about Derek Bailey, just got the name wrong (now corrected). He used to play 'normally' as a club and dance hall musician, you know, for at least 15 years and...

Not a P-90 party, just a nice, little P-90 get-together. 1948 meets 2020. Really great fun and simply as good as it gets.

I'm with Navdeep. Great guitar, accurate, plays so precisely, stable, stays in tune. Makes me play differently, which is always a good reason to have a few guitars around for inspiration and a...
