▪ Ken Parker was an archtype of the American Lutherie Boom: a self-starter who joyfully went full-tilt in whatever direction his powerful imagination led him. Along he way he accumulated numerous skills and was a pathfinder for many new guitar-making directions. Generations yet unborn will study his work with delight — an enviable and well-earned legacy. Mike Doolin, himself no slouch in the innovation department, offers a heart-felt appreciation.
