Re: Parker DF845 Custom, Project Name "Toxic", Serial Number "NX-01", 2011

I was getting the guitar ready for taking some photos tomorrow and couldn't resist recording a little something for you all! :mrgreen:

On stage with the NX-01 on February 10th 2024. :mrgreen:
Maybe for the last time, who knows.
But it was glorious as usual.

Re: Parker DF845 Custom, Project Name "Toxic", Serial Number "NX-01", 2011

Some of you may remember the 2008 Fly Deluxe in Tangerine I used to have.
There's a shot on the first page of this topic.

I guess I needed an orange guitar in my life again.
No regrets. :lol:

BTW I'm passing Daniel's shop every day on my commute to work, never went in though.
Would you recommend his work?

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread

I'd much rather see it go to someone who will actually play and enjoy it. But someone seriously overpaying and funding a lot of new gear is certainly an interesting possibility. I guess most of all I'm just curious what kinds of offers would actually come in, hence calling it a "social experime...

Yeah, I'm slowly starting to recognize this is a case of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em". I will ask a friend to take a few professional photos of my DF845 Custom and write up a melodramatic posting, including "one of a kind" (which it is) and "original owner" (which ...

Re: Parker DF845 Custom, Project Name "Toxic", Serial Number "NX-01", 2011

Did you manage to find "your" tone with the new guitar? The perceived difference is greater than the objective difference, it's probably more felt than heard. I accidentally compared a specific song's sound through the wrong preset, which resulted in a tone so ugly and harsh, it almost re...

Well, I guess it happened. :shock: After thinking about it for a long time (and even posting about it here a while ago), being too lazy to make a two day trip to the closest shops stocking the brand for testing, and finding absolutely none whatsoever on the used market in my city or area, I ordered ...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread

I honestly wonder if I should post my custom with such a ridiculous price. At least it really is unique and in great condition. What do I care if some idiot pays way too much for it in order to attempt to resell it for even more if it funds a lot of new gear for me?

The #13 of 25 Four Seasons Fall Mojo is on Reverb for EUR 19,484.44. :roll:
Since my custom DF845 "Toxic" is 25 times as rare I should consider EUR 450,000 a very fair price, right? :lol:

Reading about the ridiculous prices that seem to be normal on Reverb, I am beginning to wonder if I should list my custom Parker for USD 15k (or 17.5k with backup spring included). :lol: I just failed to sell a pristine condition Two Notes Torpedo Studio for EUR 500 via an Austrian portal.

@Marko Ursin's work looks like the closest thing to a Fly I've seen since official production stopped.

Re: Parker DF845 Custom, Project Name "Toxic", Serial Number "NX-01", 2011

I don't expect anything to go wrong and I take good care of my gear in general, but I'm also aware that stuff can go wrong. A Parker definitely isn't a guitar you can take to any old shop when in need of repair. It's my only electric guitar and shipping it around the world and back for weeks or even...
