Re: WTB: Hard Shell Case

Well here is a bit of nostalgia for you guys. I bought my near mint 1994 white hard tail in 2017 I think for $1100 and sent it to Shazrock to fix a dent which brought it to perfect condition. And she charged me $120 bucks at the time. Total cost with shipping - $1275. Those were the days. Thats awe...

Re: Fly Parker Preamp Issue

Yes. Probably a defective Fishman Powerchip.
Or a grounding issue. But less likely.

Re: Piezo users…

I use the AxeFxIII and I get excellent results with that. I use the tone match function or sometimes I have just downloaded some impulse responses from the net and use that. I’m not able to post a demo right now, but the results are fantastic.

Re: Pickup tone sounds tinny.

I am new to the Parker Fly. I will say it is the easiest guitar to play I have ever had in my hands. But, is there a way to adjust the pickup height or something that will give the guitar's sound more body and depth? Right now it sounds like single coil pickups no matter what I do. The coil tapping...

Thanks for the clarification.
Unusual to ask for an offer without listing a price.

Re: Parker Wood and Tone Comparison and Fly Model Comparison

Nice comparison thread, VJ! My '99 Ruby Red Deluxe weighs in at 5.6 lbs. (without battery). My '06 Italian Plum Mojo weighs in at 6.7 lbs (with battery). My '97 Artist weighs in at just about two potato chips (scary light!). Yes I agree, the Artist is alive with overtones taking you to dreamland wi...

Re: Fly Pickups (Gen 1, Gen 2, and Other)

When I got my first Fly in 1994, I wanted the neck pickup to sound more PAF-like so I called Parker. Ken answered! He suggested I speak to Steve B at DiMarzip and gave me his number. I spoke to Steve and he was the kindest person. He listened attentively and then sent me a pickup which is still in t...

Re: Battery kill switch ideas

Personally I don’t mind unplugging, but if I had to install such a switch, I’d want to just replace one of the pots with one that also functions as a switch. Turn down the tone pot and get a satisfying click at the end of the rotation indicating the battery is now disconnected.

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread

I seem to see a renewed upswing in posted prices. Good specimens posted for 4-4.5K, beaters posted around 3-3.5. Not saying they are selling at these prices, but still - a definite rise.

Always do! :D . Hopefully whoever bought that one will play it and love it, and not just try to flip it for twice what they paid :roll:
Nah. Just like the guy who bought a Nylon from Sweetwater, fishing the very same day for selling price on FB. Too bad!

Now there's a real miss! Anyone here catch this baby?
Regardless of the neck/fret issue, that would've been a good catch.
