Now, this is extreme! Any guitar respectable manufacturer has a Custom Shop through which the most interesting and sometimes weird designs or ideas come out to amaze the music instruments' world. From the most exquisite types of wood down to the most absurd shapes and twisted specs, the guitar manufacturers have done it all. Until now...

Parker guitars are one of the most renowned and revered guitar producers around and over time they have strengthened their noble reputation by offering divine quality for their gear. But this time Parker have simply outdone themselves with the limited edition Fly Mojo Python guitar.

Dead-simple, only
50 such guitars have been made and they sport the most intriguing yet luxurious finish there is: snake skin. Forget Shakira and her crappy Swarowski-studded Fender! We're talking leather here!

Of course there is a chance for the Animal Rights activists to deploy their everyday screams but so far nobody knows if the python skins have been peeled off the killed snakes so, please STFU, please! What looks like a very meticulous airbrush painting is on fact snakeskin carefully topping the guitar and covered in a transparent sealer coat.

This way, hand-fitting the snake skin on each guitar, Parker have obtained 50 absolutely unique guitars: as there are no two identical snake skin patterns in the world, there will be no two Fly Mojo Parkers alike. Since there are only 50 made and already fewer left, I'd suggest you go get yours or the auction prices after the last one has been sold will cause you a handful of tears...

As for the tech-obsessed (hi guys, I haven't forgotten you, don't worry!), the Python Fly Mojo Parker sports the same killer specs: custom cast aluminum tremolo bridge with stainless steel saddles, Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB PU's (bridge and neck pos), Fishman piezos, Sperzel tuners and mind-blowing overall body weight of 5 lbs only!

Hurry, I guess that by the time you finished this article one or two more were sold! Get some $5,000 and go get it! I can't say "while stocks last"... limited 50 pieces series isn't quite a stock, especially as retailers usually have only one Python...
