Parker Adrian Belew Signature 2009

The Parker Adrian Belew Signature solidbody electric guitar is an incredible marriage of technology and tone fit for a prog and experimental rock legend. Far from a slapped-on signature model, the Adrian Belew Signature is the result of years of collaboration between Adrian and Parker, and the results are breathtaking! From the built-in guitar models to the MIDI capability to the awesome Sustaniac pickup functionality, the Adrian Belew Signature is simply an amazing guitar.

The Adrian Belew Signature includes a complete Variax system that is nearly identical to that offered by Line 6 (25 stringed-instrument models, 50 presets, 10 user-definable locations). All of this is accessed via the traditional piezo-volume control and a five-way switch. The guitar can also be used in "magnetic" mode by lifting up the Variax control. This option bypasses the Variax, and offers, via the five-way: bridge humbucker, bridge hum/piezo, piezo, neck humbucker/piezo, and neck humbucker settings.

The Sustainiac feature is accessed by pulling up the tone knob, and offers "harmonic mode" (full clockwise) and "harmonic-plus-octave" mode (full counter-clockwise). A ton of cool stuff can be instantly achieved with the Sustainiac, including full-bore feedback without a blazing amp, and eBow-like infinite sustain.

The Adrian Belew Signature is MIDI-capable, which allows you to build your very own "ultimate MIDI guitar system!" When coupled with an appropriate MIDI guitar system, the Adrian Belew Signature becomes a source of an endless creative inspiration. (To access all the features that this guitar offers, you must have a 13-pin MIDI device.)
