Re: NGD: Fly Deluxe Single-2
Congrats, @vaya! Many of us who ended up having Flys supplant our main guitars share your "high definition" sentiment. I hope you continue to share your impressions of the instrument with us as you grow more acquainted.

Re: Stock '98 Fly Classic Sounds thicker/fatter then my Stock '95 Fly Classic?
That's funny because l like the tonal qualities in both Classics-wish l could meld them together. Lol. l really am partial to my original the most because it was my first and...well...we never really forget our first, right? Oh, yeah: Acquire one Fly, and suddenly all your other guitars sound like ...

Re: I bought a Parker guitar with no parts for 150usd!
is this saddle sold on eBay compatible? Officially, those gold saddles should be compatible (we've had people encounter issues with production tolerances before). You can also email Graph Tech with a request to purchase a set of Fly saddles without the piezo elements; and they'll discount it. It wi...

Welcome back. I happen to enjoy your music, and your Mr. Tastee style of marketing yourself. See you the next time you pass through.Vordus wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 5:31 pm Haiduk - Cyclone (death/thrash/black)

Re: Most trouble-free solution (tracking-wise) for guitar synth?
As posted today on the vguitarforums : The new GM-800 firmware (1.1.0) purports to have improved tracking. Per Elantric, there will be a guitar modeling update later in the year. Small footprint internal kits for Roland GK-5 have a guitar-in wiring harness, which the firmware update purportedly allo...

Re: My Coil Tap Mod for Three More Sounds
FWIW, I just use additional washers to make up the difference when mounting components with smaller shaft diameters. The shaft length and casing depth constraints created by the ribbon assembly certainly seem like a headache to shop for (which is why I never retained the original electronics in my '...

Re: WTB Tremolo Bar for 95 Deluxe Fly
@jzacharia, a community member has begun selling replacement hex bars on eBay. The high list price is due to him being unsure as to what a fair asking price might be; with the disclaimer that you can use the "make an offer' button to negotiate a more reasonable price.

The same screws which mount/unmount the pickups determine the overall pickup height at the point where the ends of the screws thread into the guitar. It will require some hands-on experience adjusting them before it makes sense.

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
It claims Factory Refinish but I've never seen the headstock redone in factory. That the front and rear logos were painted over makes me doubt that it was a factory job. Though the fret markers seem to be there, I see only a bit of lighting glare where the serial should be. My suspicion is that onl...

Re: the Anatomy of a Fly
Welcome! Until someone else chimes in, Rbmusica , I'll point out that the tangless Fly fret wire was supposedly the hardest formulation that the factory could extrude; with tanged formulations necessarily being softer due to the malleability requirement. So Jescar stainless, EVO gold, etc. are not g...

Re: Chipping on fretboard?
If I turn the volume down and back up again, it takes several seconds worth of crackling before the signal comes back through. Mag volume or piezo volume? The mag volume can be cheaply replaced with any common 500k pot if cleaning it out and checking the solder connections at the lugs yields no imp...

Re: Mod. Split coil with mag volume knob.
Anyone here have the idea or the technical knowledge of how I could accomplish this without destroying the guitar? I think I do. I'll explain how, then explain what makes it difficult: What you're describing would require a dual gang pot with a no-load mod to its tracks (so that, at 10, the series-...

Re: Chipping on fretboard?
Congrats on the acquisition, kidislegend . Firstly, the fingerboard indentation(s) are not anything you have to worry about getting worse - The most common chip locations are in the paint along the sides of the neck. It looks to me as though someone may have been using a crowning file on the fret wh...

Being as I'm moving at the end of the month, the time has come to part with a few of my extra guitars. My ownership between 2020 to present is documented here . I'm hoping this is the last Fly I'll have to sell (My Belew and customized '97 Deluxe have been the designated "keepers"). I'd li...
