Pretteh! But that's one crazy compressed spring! I want to loosen it so bad!!
Yes I saw that too. I think the spring is failing actually.

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread

Yes. If I was in the Seattle area I'd let myself be tempted. Maybe sell my classic for that one! Love the natural mahogany!

Re: Parker Custom Shop Dragonfly in Burnt Metallic Orange/Tangerine

I’m blessed on that count. Whenever I mention to my wife that I have an eye on a guitar, she questions me as to why I did not buy it yet.

Re: Trem spring woes

The knob/wheel is adjusted so that the threaded rod is all the way to the right. I would not have posted this topic if it were this simple. Were there Parkers made with different sizes of springs? I don't mean #9 vs #10, I mean overall length? I am selling the guitar, and the buyer does not care, b...

Re: Trem spring woes

Hey @jon bondy welcome to the forum! For the spring to be able to sit you have to recess the wheel closer to the bottom it think turning the wheel clockwise to get the rod to retract and allow you to insert the 10 spring. We all conced that this process it’s fastidious and is a severe pain. Good lu...

Re: Removing mono/stero button and input jack on pre-refine

No tool needed except a pair of pliers for the bolt on the inside. For the outside part, there's a tiny hole that allows grabbing the bushing and unscrewing it. Somewhere on this board is a picture or drawing of a custom tool made to insert in the jack with a pin that fits the hole in the bushing. B...

Removing mono/stereo button and output jack for refinish

You're nearly there. Yes, just straighten out the cotter pin, and pull it out, and that button assembly will come apart. Just be careful with the ribbon.
Either way, you're gonna need to tape off the cavity so that the copper paint doesn't get painted over.

Re: Stuff I found on Craigslist

I was being sarcastic which didn’t come through on my post.
I don’t think the guitar is worth more than 500 bucks.

Thanks Marc.

Re: FS: Dimarzio Bluesbucker Fly Pickup $72

Being as I'm currently going through my parts boxes and listing spare pickups I don't see myself using in future projects, this Fly-specific Bluesbucker (DP163) I bought for the neck position of my Supreme in 2020 may as well go in the Classifieds, here. Because the two Flys I have are outfitted wi...

Re: threaded rod for balance wheel is spinning

I would use a bit of lithium white grease rather than WD40. First of all, it is inert electronically and will not drip into the cavity. Second, it is more effective at lubricating metal.

I was wondering what’s the safest way to trove the existing knobs without damaging the flex pcb.

Thank you guys
Just pull on the knob. It's not connected to the PCB.

Re: Guide: Modifying Pickups to fit Fly

I measured a few spare pickups with the fiber baseplates; and found that the top and bottom widths range from 68.74mm to 68.88mm, with the lengths of the sides ranging from 37.39mm to 37.43mm. The diagonal cutaway for the 4 conductor wires and baseplate ground wire to to exit the assembly is cut 7m...

Re: Fly Saddles through the years

I also have some spare USM saddles. The "tin" wears off from rubbing and sweat - I guess. PM me if you need them.
