OOOFT
That is a STUNNING Colour!!!!!
I'm surprised at the price though. I bought my Gold 97 Deluxe last year in the UK for £1,350 and there were several available around that price at the time.

Re: Missing: charge of battery bulb.
I'm no electrical guru but it looks like a simple red LED. I noticed when I was changing my Piezo recently that one leg of the led on mine was broken away from the circuit board. I desoldered the other leg and removed it altogether. I then trimmed the little black plastic sheath that stops it shorti...

Re: Replacing Piezo Saddles
Chris came back to me with the following "Glad you sorted it. Yes feel free to give my info@caguitarworks.co.uk email out. I no longer have my website up but still have the Facebook page. I do/can do private work in my spare time for any brand of guitar" I found him via Facebook as CA Guit...

Re: Replacing Piezo Saddles
As far as I know he is no longer doing repair work etc as he works full time for PRS now. He said he has some Parker spares left over which he will be selling off at some point. I'll message him and see if he is OK with posting his details.

Re: Replacing Piezo Saddles
No, i managed to track down a guy here in the UK the UK who used to specialise in Fly repairs. He now works for PRS Europe though. Anyway he was really helpful and told me had some pre-refined piezo saddles in his workshop. I bought 3 off him to replace the saddle (including piezo) and still have a ...

Re: Replacing Piezo Saddles
I finally got a chance to wok on the Fly today. I changed the B String saddle as I managed to locate some spares. I also took the opportunity to fix the LED which had broken one of the legs so wasn't making contact anymore. Everything is now working fine again :D There is still a little bit of "...

Re: Tremolo Springs
That’s a bummer. It’s a long shot but probably still worth an email to both Gman and wiguitar just incase.

Re: Tremolo Springs
Afraid I haven't tried it. I bought a used Fly last year and immediately snapped the spring. I managed to find a replacement 10 on Reverb from Gman.Music but I've just checked and they don't seem to have any listed now, Have you tried contacting them and asking just in case?

Re: Replacing Piezo Saddles
Thanks. Yes, my first thought was grounding too. I tried checking everything with the multi meter and the Fly schematic that was on the old forum. All the mag pickup grounding seems fine. Not sure how to even check the ground on a piezo though as there is only one wire coming from the transducer. I ...

Re: Replacing Piezo Saddles
That sounds quite plausible. As the B string can be made to work by tapping it. When it doesn't work there is a terrible buzzing sound too. Here it is in action https://youtu.be/erdr8V0tjEg Where exactly do you spray with air? Under the saddle? Down on top of the saddle? from behind the bridge cavit...

Replacing Piezo Saddles
The B string piezo recently stopped working on my 97 deluxe. I managed to source a replacement (and a couple of extra ones just in case I need them in future). It looks like an easy soldering job to replace it but I presume it os safer to take the bridge off to do so. How do I do this? Just keep loo...
