Unfortunately, that manual is not in our collection, and, personally, I’m not certain that one exists.

Re: 3d models or blueprints of parker

Hi both— this is what we have so far. The Fly body geometry on that model is not verified as accurate and, in fact, I'm sure that it's not accurate. I'm not comfortable putting it out for download as-is, so I hope the Fusion 360 reference is sufficient for now. We hope to revisit this aspect of Fly ...

Re: Questionable spring with rust

Hi Rmer —I would not be shy about getting that Fly; rust can occur on those springs even if they’re sitting out in a humidity-controlled environment, so, in my research into Fly springs, rust on a spring has more to do with the treatment of the spring steel than it has to do with an indicator that t...

Re: GK-3 install/tape residue

Hi Lori and welcome! Congrats on the new Fly!

Others here—for sure—have more experience with installing/removing the GK series transducers, but I can say that naphtha and a little patience is usually all it takes to remove tape residue from those sorts of devices on a Fly.

Re: Stuff I found on Craigslist

I’m hoping it wasn’t more severe than recognizing a guitar you own. 😂 Short story: I bought it through PayPal, and when the seller stopped responding to my emails, I filed a report with PayPal, heard back from the seller who asked me to close the case with PayPal in order to proceed with issuing a ...

Re: Parker Fly Mojo - Seymour Duncan Pickup Replacement?

I just took some measurements of my Fly Mojo and a Fly Deluxe: The Fly Deluxe DiMarzio Gen 1 pickups have the same spacing for both neck and bridge pickups. The Fly Mojo has narrower spacing for the neck pickup and a confirmed “Trembucker” “for the bridge pickup. I used Marc’s approach to trace the ...

Hi ohadaadr —we have 3D models of parts here and of the Fly body here . Please note that these are CAD not CAM, so you'll have to write your own toolpaths. Additionally—and unrelated to Flys, specifically—you may be interested in a project we're doing in our lab called Fretology of which Ken Parker ...
