Re: Serial Number Info for Parker Fly, NiteFly, Fly Bass, and Other Parker Guitars

Here's a pic of my serial number (below). I've been messaging with vjmanzo, and given my serial, it looks like our thoughts on pre-2003 serial numbers need a little revision. It seems like the logic behind the pre-2003 serial numbers is no different from the 2003-2006 logic. So those comments could ...
