Hey all. I just spoke with a guy who owns a number of flys who said he had a fly where the truss rod would not turn any farther and was forever slightly bowed. He says it's the only one he put heavier springs on and says he thinks that is what may have caused it. Also causing finish cracks where the...

Nevermind I think I answered my own question lol Carry on!

And wouldn't ya know it, like 3 nice ones landed today between ebay and reverb. Doh!

Congrats man what did you get?

Well, I'm knee deep in it now. My second fly and first refined I've ever got my hands on. So far, not hearing or seeing any advantage of refined vs prerefined. Also got a minty fresh Nitefly on its way this week. Was posted for about 2 hours on Reverb before snatching it up. The wife is not going to...

Hi buddy! I heard back from a custom fabricator in my area and he said what I need to look for is a metal stamping company so tommorow I'll go down that road and see what I can find. Cheers.

Thanks man I was just hoping I wasn't totally alone I'll poke around Lowes and see if I can find something to plug it up. Though I don't play out so no one really to impress hehe.

Gotcha, thanks for the quick reply. I'll take it over to PM with you if that's ok.

Oh man, you got me nervous! Is this something you've heard much about? Actual damage from the spring breaking? Am I any safer not using the tremolo at all and just keeping the fixed position or do they snap for no reason at all? I'm reeeaaally trying to put the spring out of my mind lol but... thank...

I wasn't crazy about the color but I'm warming up to it!

I searched a bit for "knob" and didn't see anyone talking about this so forgive me if it's been mentioned. So, I literally have only one issue for the Fly, the placement of the volume knob. With a closed hand, palm mute picking style I find it impossible to alternate pick the high strings ...

Hi just curious if sold? Cheers.

Man you're generous!!!

Hiya. I assume you have sold this?

Hi there. I'm curious about a couple things but I'm interested. I've never played or owned anything other than a prerefine and Id like to know what exactly you prefer about the prerefines? Aside from those details, can you make a judgement on the differences of the overall build quality? And what co...

Hi vjmanzo, First, I appreciate the very detailed and thoughtful reply :) The fact that you are taking on such a incredibly difficult task is quite admirable. I'd love to help and am glad there is an easy way to donate to the cause. I can't send you 30k but I just made a donation for 250.00 (the amo...

Hi all. I'm happy and sad all at the same time. I just purchased a minty fresh 98 parker fly that got delivered today...just like the one I used to have so many years ago. For that I'm happy! And now realizing I COMPLETELY forgot about the spring system, I'm now a bit sad :( So, obviously I've found...
