Welcome, fuzzbox-UK /Kevin. First of all, the mod is very much possible. But there are considerations to be made: The covered Fluence pickup SKUs (such as the Modern you linked to) have square corners which will likely require modification to the guitar's pickup routs to accomodate them. If you were...

This Fly mod is not for the faint of heart - In fact, the reason I procrastinated on finishing the guide for three years is because there has been zero DIY demand from owners attempting the job. So, while I'd love for this post to ease someone's anxieties and encourage them to roll up their sleeves,...

My man!!! Wait, is this a typo, you mean your middle position is both HBs on, right? Thank you, but I have no guts whatsoever to mod my Parker (or any Parker, lol, while I've done it to death on every single other guitar I've owned since the early 90ies). Would you believe me if I told you I haven'...

Hi Deke! Welcome! That is one fine Italian plum!! ;) Smokin'! Congrats! I'm prepared to lovingly advocate for the poor Gen 1's! :lol: Sure, they may sound like icicles to some people, but with a little adjustment they'll warm right up :D Before you go swapping them, Deke, have you tried lowering th...

Great to hear, @Xrocker! Congrats!! And way to go, @mmmguitar!

Would love to see and hear this axe in action!! Does the VV P-90 have the same footprint as the stock Dimarzio? Same mounting method?

Due to the 2020 production backlogs affecting many manufacturers, Fly owners are in the position of being unable to receive new pickups from Parker’s former OEMs (Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan). Fortunately, modifying F-spaced (approx. 51.05mm E-to-e) Dimarzios and other pickups to fit Fly cavities is...

The original Parker Flys produced in 1993 shipped with magnetic pickups based on the existing DiMarzio Air Norton (neck position, PHWN1), and ToneZone (bridge position, PHWB1); the Fly versions of these pickups were the same as the stock DiMarzio versions and simply had a different way of mounting t...

Great sound and great playing, @Xrocker! Seems like a cool gig too!

Any special mods needed in order to fit the Lawlers into the Dragonfly?

Hey Xav , I’m sure others here have their own thoughts on Fly pickups, but I figure I’ll just mention my own take, which is that, fundamentally, the Fly guitar, unplugged, has a good, clean, consistent timbre throughout the fingerboard, so, unlike other guitars where you might need to rely on pickup...

Hi everyone, In case you're interested (or in case you like Rush!), here's a recent video of me performing as part of a Rush tribute night featuring my Fly Deluxe with the Sustainiac driver. The Sustainiac is on in "normal" mode for the entire song, but you can hear it most prominently at ...
