Honestly, 99.9% of the time I use the piezo mixed with the mags (piezo EQ set fully counter-clockwise so minimum treble), it gives the sound a little boost and more body. A week ago I received a Y cable for my Flys. I don't gig but I will start recording in a week or so. When I want to use the mag+p...

Welcome aboard @OliverBaage !

Yes, that seems to be a 1997 Deluxe according to this: viewtopic.php?t=63

BP = Basswood/Poplar (neck/body) and that makes it a Deluxe Fly.

Enjoy your beauty!

This just came in guys... viber_image_2024-03-01_15-19-52-692.jpg I need to charge it, fiddled with it a little bit, piano VST, there are things indeed I can do with the Instrument 1 that can't be done with the Gk5/GM800 (not by me anyway). There are plenty of settings I will have to spend some time...

ΟΚ, I checked with my luthier, he used cyanoacrylate glue indeed.

That’s not normal. Must’ve been using an Epoxy or some other incorrect glue. My repair with Cyanoacrylate is still holding strong. I don't know Pat, the thing is that so far only one out of 3 or 4 in total got detached...the rest seem fine...well at least right now... I provided him with all the ne...

Well @nuovonormale , I have already notified my luthier that one of the (how many were they back then, 3? 4?) problematic frets got partially detached again, so he will glue it back...again...

This one lasted 9 months, lol...the rest of seem OK...well. for now...

mmmguitar wow, your reply is PRICELESS, thank you so much for your time! All valid points, and don't get me started on the pup rabbit hole, been there, done that a "few" times. Now, some extra infos on my side. I've been playing strictly with Fractal gear since 2011 when I sold every sing...

I forgot, question...

For my strats, I should go for the F-spaced ones, right?

OK, here''s the deal... I spent almost 30 years playing strictly low output SSS strats. I used to love that sound, I recorded a buttload of tracks until one day, late 2019, something was just wrong...I started experimenting with single coil sized humbuckers, and I found my sonic nirvana after I went...

And here's the red one from the same seller!
Perfect, just perfect!

Did any of you ever experience this "partial detach" issue (as opposed to a "full" fret falling out issue)? If so, do you think the only way is to completely remove those frets and re-glue them? Or there might be some other, lighter way to fix it? Happened to me a week after I b...

Wow guys, thank you so much for your insight! mmmguitar I agree...the moment Elentric suggested the TriplePlay, I knew that chances were there wasn't anything "better" in terms of tracking...honestly, I think for the time being I'll stick with the GK5 while at the same time I'll be looking...

mmmguitar I wouldn't say I am active, I am a member there and I made a thread just to get some opinions. Tripleplay was suggested but I don't think I'll go that route. jb63 I am with you brother, but as I wrote, this is not my first rodeo. No, I am not the cleanest guitar player in the world (on th...

Tried Jam? https://www.jamorigin.com/ Yes, recently, not for me (a few years back I had also tried their Midi Guitar V1 and the Bass equivalent). But I am looking for a hardware approach, I don;t want to depend on PCs, VSTs, software etc. You know, grab the guitar, fire up some gizmo (GM800 in my c...

Hi, I am looking for the most trouble-free/best tracking solution for guitar synth. I've owned the GK3/GR20 twice in my life, I've dealt with several tracking issues (and glitches, dying mice sounds and the such), spent a lot of time setting the GK3 on four different guitars with different setups. I...

For the EU citizens you may want to keep an eye on this seller (zodiac51): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134844798640 I just received mine and it's PERFECT! Fits like a glove, thick and robust! viber_image_2024-02-10_13-36-28-623.jpg viber_image_2024-02-10_13-36-29-903.jpg viber_image_2024-02-10_13-36-...

Now, after busying myself with my long-almost-forgotten guitar, I find the thought to part with it .... difficult. It is a one-of-a-kind axe. Hm. My other great guitar is a LP Goltop 57 darkback Reissue Custom Art and Historic, also from 2001. This one, while being the guitar that I always fancied ...

I wish I had that kind of money Oliver, it's so difficult to find decent Flys in the EU nowadays, let alone Supremes and Artists...

And of coutse to us, EU citizens, buying from the US or UK is kinda suicidal in terms of customs fees etc.

I cannot for the love of my heart understand why anyone would rather use the dull and boring (and honestly, ugly) black original knobs. Or the quite useless tone pot, which simply muffles the sound.... Well, not to argue, but to me the knobs are, well, just knobs, as long as they are doing their jo...

Welcome aboard, mate!

Soooooo, your Parker addiction has just begun...
