Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread

As of its resolution a few minutes ago, I can finally share that I just had a Reverb scam refund processed, myself: The short of it is that the swindler was ready to publish their clone of a live listing the moment it sold; and I fell for what a second look would have told me was obvious bait (it m...

Question about Springs

Hey guys I got a Parker that came installed with an 11 gauge spring. Also I think it has 10-46 gauge strings currently on it. As far as I know an 11 gauge spring is perfectly fine to use with both 10 and 11 gauge strings. Am I right on this? Just wanted to double check with you guys.

Re: Heaviest Parker guitar?

Ah. I didn't know there were different sizes of necks on these guitars. I can measure mine. Where do you like measurements taken to determine neck fatness? 1st fret? 12th? Oh could you? That'd be cool since finding measurements online have been hard to come by. Could you measure around the 1st fret...

I'm mainly looking for one that has the thickest neck possible. And also a bridge humbucker as well hopefully, but that's not as important.

Re: Heaviest Parker guitar?

Interesting stuff, thanks guys. Yeah the Classic seems like it was the lightest one that I've played so far, but I've never owned an Artist or Stealth. Anyone know about how Niteflys have changed in this regard over the years? I just ask because a Nitefly is going to be my next purchase, hah.

Heaviest Parker guitar?

I'm just mainly curious, I prefer the lightweight guitars myself but I know not all Parkers were under 5 lbs. Which ones were the heaviest?

Re: Parker neck sculpts

Yeah, I do remember a time where I was kind of unfairly 😕 about my chunky neck Mojo (versus the thin neck), but, for certain things, I really do like it a lot. Did you ever play a NiteFly? Those necks are, in fact, a bit chunkier than Fly necks. Again, at first I was sort of turned off to the NiteF...

Okay interesting yeah I am liking more chunky necks lately these days, so good to know about those 2000s Flys. Cool! Might look into a Nitefly as well.

Parker neck sculpts

Do the neck sculpts of Parkers vary between models much? Are there any Parkers with thick/chunky necks for example?

Re: what exact Floyd model is in the PDF60?

Oh wow you're right, it is a Special. Thanks, and good to know OFR saddles will fit. Seems like my string slippage issue is common on trems made with zinc alloy.

I have one of the black PDF60 models with a Floyd Rose. I just wanted to check with you guys, is this the Floyd Rose Special? I ask because I need a new saddle, am having some serious G String slippage issues from the bridge.

Case for a PDF60

Hey guys I'm wanting to get a hardshell case for my PDF60, I know Maxxfly cases exist but are extremely rare. Is getting a Gator case my best option at this point?

Re: There was a pre-refined trem bar on Reverb for 2 seconds

Didn’t see the, ubik55 —do you need one? There are a few options linked from the parts page, if so. Just curious—did you notice the asking price? Oh I don't really need one, but I thought about buying it since they are so rare to see pop up on there. Someone else bought it though, I shouldn't have ...

Re: Not a Parker

I completely agree! I had put the knurled knob buttons on our Fly 12-string mod and—a month in—I switched back to regular buttons. Wow that 12 string is pretty nice! Love that custom bridge you guys made for it too. But yeah those knurled knob tuners do look like they would be slightly lighter in w...
