Re: Battery drain
Copy that.
You've just saved yourself from a rude surprise!
Unplugging the cord is very good advice for any brand of guitar (or bass) which has a battery powered circuit.
I have 9 volt batteries that have lasted for years in several guitars, electric and acoustic-electric.

Re: PM20 Pro Parts
I had a look through some notes that I had kept from the old Parker site (circa 2006!) concerning modding the PM20. At the time I too was considering switching to black hardware but I changed my mind. The only thing I did replace was the pickups. According to my records those who did make the change...

Re: 2006 Parker USA Single Cut Mahogany
That’s a PM20, isn’t it? 🤔 For reference, The PM20 is a string thru design: https://flyclone.com/viewtopic.php?t=67 The PM10 is a stop tail configuration: https://flyclone.com/viewtopic.php?t=66 The Fly Mojo is listed here, very similar at first look to PM10/PM20: [url]file:///C:/Users/Barry/Deskto...

Re: It finally happened...Re-gluing a fret!
Whenever you do fretwork it's almost always an adventure! :lol: If you're lucky and the Gods of Guitar are smiling, all goes well. If they happen to be on a coffee break, well anything goes.

Re: PDF30 mod recommendations?
What the....?!
I've done many re-wirings on many guitars but this would make me want to just close the cover and go have a Cinnabon!
Yikes.

Re: FrankenHornet XII
As a PM20 owner (also with a Bubinga top) I am more than impressed by what you've accomplished here! To say that the real estate you had to work with is small is an understatement. I was particularly concerned with the head stock. Theoretically there ain't enough room there to do what you did withou...

Re: What do you use to clean a DF natural wood guitar?
Naphtha is the go-to product for cleaning just about everything, particularly grungy parts. But do be careful using it, it is quite flammable (lighter fluid after all), so good ventilation and absence of any ignition sources is a must. Doesn't do your lungs much good either! :shock: The good thing a...

Re: Any love for the P series (import)?
Hello Spicey and congrats on the new guitar, you're gonna love it! There's a post somewhere in this forum which discusses the names found on the head stock. Mine also says "Hornet". Long story short, nobody really knows why it's on there. Best guess is that it was part of an abandoned mark...

Re: PM20 Locking Tuners
Yup, the PM20 is a beautifully made and comfortable player. I love mine. Generally, I've never felt the need for locking tuners on a non-trem guitar, and the stock ones on the PM20 work just fine, but then I'm not an aggressive player or even gigging or recording so I can see where they would be hel...

Review of a Nitefly! by Phillip McKnight
The "know your gear" guy posted this vid recently and I was kinda startled to see it! :o https://youtu.be/mmSxHnRbQNQ I do not own a 'real' Parker, just the import PM20 (which is still a great little guitar by the way) so I was curious to see what he thought of this beast and maybe learn a...

Re: Olive Branch: a Ken Parker archtop
Beautiful playing VJ.
Makes R&R and R&B on my PM20 seem, well, shall we say, lacking?
What an extraordinary guitar that is. So many innovative ideas!
You're a lucky fella.

Re: PM20 Pro Truss Rod Cover
You might get lucky on eBay but I think your best bet, if you're handy, is to make your own.
The lettering is a bit tricky but could be done with a printer and a water slide decal?

Re: P36 piezo noises ,,, grrrrt ch ch chrrrrrk ,,
Oxidation on pot wipers, input jacks, and switch contacts is a very common occurrence, especially in a high humidity environment. Next to poor string action setup, "crackling and popping" was perhaps the biggest complaint I heard from customers in my tenure as a guitar tech. Always try the...

Sounds very much like oxidation problems in the pots to moi.
