Theres actually some really neat elements to the design of Parkers. The wheel on the old ones adjusts the tension of the spring plate it has vs the usual coil springs to the tremolo. In the new versions it doesn't stick out the front and is adjusted through a hole in the back. There also is switch/lever in the back that Bengal mentioned that changes it from fixed bridge mode to floating trem mode.
The bodys are very sleek, and kinda form fitting against your midsection with the exception of the top square horn that can still somewhat poke you in the chest when playing sitting down. The lower horn has a flattened bottom edge that acts as a rest/stand for the top of your left leg when siting.
The trussrod is easily accessible in the L shaped headstock. It sits on the bottom at the corner of the L close to the nut.
The necks are thin but not Ibanez wizard thin and the guitars weigh 4-5lbs so they feel like theres nothing on the end of your strap.
Stainless steel frets and the carbon fiber fretboard give it some crazy sustain and for a guitar so thin it has some amazing resonance.
When placing your hand under the 24thfret/neck pickup area it's around 1 1/2" in thickness or so and has a really comforting feel for the higher fret access. Check out how thin the horn areas are.
I've noticed the newer Silverburst Fly I have has alittle bit thicker body (and neck) probably because it routed for normal pickups and pickup rings. Apparently they have been getting alot of requests for this so pickup swapping can be done alot easier.
