I've never owned a parlor guitar, but I occasionally see a listing locally for a Recording King "0." Since I love my two Recording King dreadnoughts, a six-string and a twelve, I figure RK might be a way to find out how much I'd like a parlor without breaking the bank.
If memory serves...
Teles are usually quick sellers, often so quick that sellers don't try to haggle much. I have noticed recently that my local market has really gone quiet. A shop near me has a used MIM Strat listed for for $400.
Prices have been really high since 2020 -- Is the market correcting?

I have neither owned nor tried a Silver Sky, but I would be hesitant to try another PRS. The SE Custom 24 I owned never felt right, and I couldn't get it to sound good. I've since played a Tremonti SE and a Santana SE and I felt the same way about them. Maybe it's because I play clean -- maybe...
Would "Strong, Beefy Overtone" be the name of a debut album?

I think the angle in pics can make things look wonky that ain't. My experience with the Affinity Strat is old, from at least a dozen years ago --the body was too thin, the nut too narrow for my liking. But I have read that they are much netter now.
I tend to follow my gut instinct. If you're...
My guess is Affinity. Shape, decal, string tree, split-shaft tuners all seem to match. Affinity has the two-point bridge, to, but do I agree that the saddle screws are concerning.
If I remember correctly, @monte merrick's account was hijacked. The real Monte had a devil of a time getting his access back. You may have blocked the impostor.
