NGD: Fly Deluxe Single-2
After a long time I finally managed to track down one of these. I was never really satisfied with the sound of the regular Flys split coils. So when I had the opportunity to get my favorite guitar with my prefered pickup combination, I could not say no. The sound benefits a lot from the construction...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
On Reverb offers from Italy and Spain have been in the 2500€ region. Right now there is this refined Fly in mint burst for 2300€ with the original hard shell case. Although its a bit banged up and is missing the tremolo bar. https://reverb.com/item/79611193-parker-fly-deluxe-2005 There also was a eu...

Re: 1. Outside Tour Reeves Gabrels Fly Guitar
25k is a bit much. However if I ever get my hands on a Fly with messed up electronics I might build something similar.

Re: 1. Outside Tour Reeves Gabrels Fly Guitar
I didn't know about a sale. The metallic teal color and lack of pick ups while still sounding like an electric are cool to me.

1. Outside Tour Reeves Gabrels Fly Guitar
Hello, is there any information about the guitar Reeves Gabrels is playing during this set? It at first glance it looks like a Bronze or Concert Fly but there seems to be some sort of MIDI system above the bridge?- Tue Feb 06, 2024 4:52 am

Re: 2001 Fly Supreme
Hello Oliver, I went through some past eBay and Reverb listings and at the moment the asking prices for a pre-refined fly supreme seems to be around 4500€ to 6000€ with examples in very good condition and all the accessories even going for up to 7000€. For example this one fairly recently sold on eB...

Re: Im no guitar tech, but….
Yes, I’ve heard of others doing this—I did once string up a hardtail Fly with phosphor bronze strings and the piezo output sounded comparable to my Fly Concert. Understandably so, magnetic pickups didn’t really work 😁 I had a similar thought of stringing up a regular Fly Deluxe with nylon ball end ...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
Any thoughts on if it would be wise to wait to find a better deal on them or do you guys think the prices will jump back up? For similarly "niche" brands with higher production numbers (such as Strandberg), resale prices have been trending downward with the exception of limited edition co...
