Re: Rubber Knob

Hey @KenanJ—I’m not sure why the STL for the knob is not in the repo, but I have some people looking into it. I’ll let you know when it turns up.

Re: the Anatomy of a Fly

Hi @Ericb71—yes, that is the correct part. 👌 As noted, it’s not the same as the original, but it is close.

Re: Rubber Knob

Hi KenanJ —I've tried a few different filaments, and I think a molded part like the original is best instead of a printed one. The knob linked on the parts list is the closest we come. I contacted Davie's Moulding about a minimum order for a custom all-black design, but they wanted something like 10...

Re: Downtuning and bar usage

Respectfully to Billy, the info in that post is not accurate for USM springs—Billy might be thinking of the thickness between a 9 and a 10, which differ in other dimensions, but do have the same steel thickness. The thickness of the 11 spring steel is .0020” thicker than a 10 spring. The bend inform...

Re: Downtuning and bar usage

Gotcha! Yes, I have the EHX Pitch Fork pedal and it’s pretty good! I’ve been preferring the FoMoFX Virtual Jeff Pro which has a polyphonic detune function as well, which is also pretty good!!

Keep us posted!

Downtuning, Intonation, and Vibrato usage with Heavy Strings

Hi Voice Of Reason —I have two hardtail Flys set up in B standard and I had one Fly Deluxe w/a vibrato previously set up in that same tuning. In my experience, setting up these Flys to intonate properly was possible by adjusting the saddles as far forward as possible in some cases and some light fil...

Dimarzio Pickup (Entire Assembly) Models

HI KenanJ —yes, we have an untested version of this assembly in our public Model Repository ; I moved it to the root of the repo directory in a folder called "Dimarzio Pickup". IIR, this came out pretty good, but we're going back five years on this particular set of models. Here's what the...

Kroil is the stuff Ken recommends.

Good luck with this! Remember that a little turn goes a long way, so be patient!

Experimenting with String Materials and Pickup Heights

@vjmanzo cna you elaborate more on the below? Is there a topic about that already ? (string height and string material) Happy to! Regarding pickup height, I was told, as a teenager, to “raise ‘em high and let ‘em fry”, which delivers a hotter signal to the amp, but, actually, with the Fly specifica...

Re: Parker Fly "MethHead" Deluxe on Reverb

I saw that too—always a risk buying something like this. $800 starting + tax + $58 shipping, so you’re in it for closer to $900. My general thought is usually, “What would I ultimately put into this all-in before I felt comfortable/assured bringing it to a gig”. Unfortunately, we don’t know why that...

Re: Fly Classic Pickup Height Adjustment

Hi lemmy999 —thanks for pointing that out; maybe I should revise it for clarity. What I wrote wasn’t intended to sound contradictory to what is in the manual; some people felt like the manual didn’t really explain how this works. There is some foam padding on the underside of Fly pickups that pushes...
