Battery drain

My Fly is my first electric guitar that requires a battery, so this may be a dumb question, it's certainly an ignorant one;
Is the battery draining as long as the guitar is plugged in?

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 ...

Roller bearings for the Fishman piezo bridge.

I have lost the little ball bearings on the G string of my Parker Nitefly. Is there a way to replace that without buying the whole bridge?

Re: Parker Nitefly M wiring

No, it's permanent, sadly. I plug it in and within 5 or ten seconds it's making non-guitar sounds.
I am in the market for a new preamp!

Re: Parker Nitefly M wiring

Well, now I see I have gotten ahead of things. Tonight I was playing the Fly and it suddenly began making this total unguitarlike sound Like a weird synth. I'm starting to think the thing to do would be to disable the piezo. Has anyone ever had the guitar just start making a weird sound like this?

Re: Parker Nitefly M wiring

I figured it out! I was missing a ground between the components and the output jack barrel! Quiet as a ghost and all switch positions work as expected! Thank you for your help!

Now to get in to this cool beast!

Re: Parker Nitefly M wiring

Thank you! I have since tried to follow these diagrams. What is a bit confusing is schematic for the NF MOJO match3es my guitar, except mine has DiMarzios, and my output jack is square-ish like the MOJO drawing. Also my toggle for the piezo looks nothing like any of the schematics I can find. Mine s...

Hi! I am new to Parker. I got gifted what I believe is a 2009 Nitefly M. It's serial number is 082119 USA. It has DiMarzio pickups and a Fishman Piezo system.
