Re: GK-3 install/tape residue

Hello, Lori. Does anyone out there have any experience with this type of install. Is it stable? can it be removed without damaging the finish of the guitar? Though the tape Roland supplies should be safe for your Fly's finish, I remember it being lower tack than the roll of M3 mounting tape I have (...

Re: Squeaky Trem

Thanks Marc. I have a spare 10 spring so I’ll stick it in there and see if it handles. Might do the trick. In 3 weeks when I’m back! Did you ever get a chance to investigate this further, by chance? I was going to add the "SpringIssues" hashtag, then realized we never narrowed down the so...

Re: Output Jack Replacement

Hey I noticed the output jack on my 94 Fly Deluxe is a bit loose, it's so loose that my cable falls out sometimes. I think soldering in a new jack might be something easy enough for me to handle, is there a brand of output jack that I can buy that is similar in size to the original jack that these ...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread

the $10,000 he’s referring to is primarily the hours of hand labor involved from skilled craftspeople and not materials—and also that more than half of the production cost of the Fly, according to Ken Parker, went into the finish. Indeed. My fallible memory recalls the context for that quote being ...

Strandberg have been increasing their prices in the EU at least.
