Re: Replacement PCB (pre-refined)

Hey Brian- Awesome project. The schematic available is very good, not sure about any missing resistor- might be an optional part to go along with an ic sub over time. Speculation only on my part. I’ve had an idea to remake the ribbons to help others with otherwise working pcbs- usually the ribbons a...

Re: Fly Artist Setup

Congrats on the artist, great score- love mine! For the paint chips on the side of the neck, use a sharpie to blend the color and then put a little ca (super) glue over it. You can gently sand and polish the glue out to be nearly invisible (per YouTube vids), or just try to apply as smoothly as you ...

Re: Battery compartment "in body" cover

Late to the party, crazy few months... I haven’t changed the battery at a gig, I usually do it every 6 months along with the smoke alarms. I do carry a spare.

Re: Adding a Latch to the Refined Step-stop to make it more like the original

That’s awesome! How about threading that hole for fine adjustment and using a drop of loctite? You’d need a flat bottom tap and next size screw I think.

Re: Official Parker Guitars Website and Forum

Right on VJ! Unfortunately someone on FB who is relatively well connected to usm seems to think they are officially done. I’m surprised if they’re shutting down Randall too. I guess it makes the clone project that much more relevant, and looking forward to seeing this forum grow and hopefully become...

Re: Official Parker Guitars Website and Forum

thrilled that VJ's hard work on this site allows us to still communicate. I'd miss you guys! I'm going to put a post on the facebook group, but not many of those users were active on the forum. I'm still of the opinion that perhaps they're simply migrating to a different hosting service and it will ...
