Re: iGuitar modified mojo with sustainiac and 13 pin

When I spoke to Patrick, I said "make me a " @vjmanzo :D

If I ever grow a pair, I'll post some clips of what I do with it.

iGuitar modified mojo with sustainiac and 13 pin

Hello all -

I thought I would share this with fellow Parker owners who may be thinking about this. I had Patrick of iGuitar modify my mojo 2006 by adding a sustainiac and the 13 pin roland output. It is simply fantastic. Here is a pic:

Re: tightening the cable plug - how?

Thank you very much for that, I will give this a shot. I was wondering what that little hole was in the jack cover. Thank you again.

tightening the cable plug - how?

Dear all -

I have a question. On my 98 classic the guitar cable plug has gotten loose. The issue is it has part of the ribbon cable attached to it which is very fragile. What is the proper procedure for tightening the plug again? Thank you in advance - I need a hint before I break it!

Re: loose tremolo arm (pre refined fly classic)

Hi. The set screw is only there to create friction to prevent the bushing from swinging freely. To tighten the arm, remove it, bend the insert section ever so slightly and push it back in. It'll fit snugly. Don't overdo it. I could be wrong, but this appears to be not the issue. The whole aluminum ...

loose tremolo arm (pre refined fly classic)

Hello - Maybe someone here might have some advice. I have a 98 classic that has a slightly loose tremolo arm. Loose in the sense that the aluminum hex arm holder in the bridge seems to be wiggling a bit inside the bridge itself. I tried tightening the set screw or loosening it - still the same probl...

Re: bridge posts issue - need some advice

Alright, I think I have succeeded without pouring super glue into the guitar. I re-read the leaning post article, not because I have that issue but because it contains a real wealth of surprising information. One thing in there is the author says that if the bushings are too loose, try turning them ...

Re: bridge posts issue - need some advice

Well, looks like my hand is forced. With just a few very very light taps the bushings just fell out. I am not sure what was even holding them in place. The stabilizer ring idea will not work unfortunately. After measuring the distance, there is no clearance for the stabilizer rings, I would have to ...

Re: bridge posts issue - need some advice

Yes, I can do that of course. I was also thinking that maybe I will just simply insert some stabilizer rings in there which would accomplish 2 things: 1. They would prevent the bushings from sliding upwards without any glue 2. If in the future this guitar develops some leaning post issue (I am using...

Re: bridge posts issue - need some advice

Cool, thank you vjmanzo I was thinking something like that, but wouldn't super glue be a bit of a "strong arm" approach? After re-reading the leaning post issue post (this sounds funny), the process describes using white wood glue, which if necessary could be undone, whereas with superglue...

Re: bridge posts issue - need some advice

Hey @igor, Marc, and everyone reading this, I’ve pinged @Ken Parker on this issue and asked him to write something in Ken’s Corner . I’ll be speaking with him this Friday and I’ll mention this issue again if he hasn’t responded by then. 👍🏻 I know that the NiteFly bridge bushings are glued in, so, i...

@mmmguitar - thank you for replying so quickly. Here you go. It appears that the bridge bushing had slid down just a millimeter or two from where it was.

bridge posts issue - need some advice

Hello! Maybe someone can guide me a bit here. I have a 98 Fly classic, and I was putting in a 12 gauge spring to use with 12 gauge strings. Everything went fine, I've done this before. But somewhere along the line it appears that the bridge posts moved up out of the body just a little bit somehow so...

WTB - pre refined hex tremolo

Hello all - I recently acquired a pre-refined trans blue parker fly classic. It's in great shape and I love it BUT it is missing a hex tremolo. I know that I can make one, I am also considering swapping out for the non hex trem but would definitely prefer the original. If anyone has one for sale or ...

After spending some time replacing the spring that would not come out, I finally figured out what the problem was originally. After going thru all these steps and all the wonderful suggestions, after putting it all back together something did not sit well with me.... Yesterday I took it apart again,...
