That is the only problem with the Parker Fly, if you back down on the
fret board, the water comes rushing into the body.

It really is a nice guitar, it has it's own 5 switch arrangement for
it's own unique electric guitar sound. It is different from the sound
of his American Double Fat Strat, which can be adjusted to sound similar
to the standard strat or a Les Paul.

The Parker can go from a range of electric guitar sounds to one that
sounds like a mic'ed accoustic.

Plus it looks nifty.

The only negative is you have to watch out for waves whenever you back
down on it.

My oldest son is in the process of buying a "beach house" near the Cape.
It's right on the water with deeded beach rights on the lower part of Cape
Cod Bay.

This past weekend he went over to Bass Pro with intentions of buying a small
(12'-14') fresh water aluminum boat and engine to use at his new place.
(This is the son that gets sea sick in a bathtub and knows virtually nothing
about boating).

Anyway, last night we had quite a long discussion about small boats,
freeboard, the differences between a fresh water pond or lake boat and a
boat designed for the ocean. We discussed "fetch" and the wind's affect on
sea state. I explained that his house is situated in an area where the
normal, prevailing SW summer wind has very little water to whip up and
that's the reason the Bay behind his new house looked so calm the couple of
times he has seen it. I got a chart out and showed him what happens when
the wind shifts to the NE or N, especially following a remote, offshore
storm and the hundreds of miles of water available to fetch, arriving ashore
in his backyard.

Then we discussed flat bottomed aluminum boats with no drains or scuppers to
get rid of water taken over the low transom and gunnels.

I think he got the point. He's now thinking small Boston Whaler or
similar.
