Ken Parker, former owner of Parker Guitars and designer of the Fly has a new line of acoustic archtops. Obviously, he has some compulsion to be innovative.

Check out where the sound hole is, the way the neck is (not) attached to the body and the fact that the gears for the tuners are inside the knobs.

Wow, interesting. Much more attractive looking than his electrics, in my humble opinion.

The floating neck thing is a bit weird but I must admit, I like it.

A bit mad looking, but clever or different thinking should always be applauded; whether it works or not, it keeps the world from getting boring.

Not bad-looking at all. Fair play to him.

I love the Parker electrics, and this acoustic looks really kickass. The floating neck seems incredible innovative. I'd love to give one a go.
