Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
Disclaimer: Potential scam; posting to see if listing disappears: '05 majik blue Deluxe sold by zero feedback store in Yamagata, Japan for $1900+tax. For reference, Ishibashi and many other international stores legitimately do this for worldwide advertising - but then scammers clone those listings. ...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
Unknown year prerefined Classic in natural , with no bar or accessories other than shipping in what is presumably a Parker case (the guitar seems to fit into it), and mysteriously rewired so that now the piezo-out is through an extra jack installed in the face of the guitar. Seller is asking $2,709...

Re: My former '08 Tangerine Mojo with Belew Mods
I seem to recall a time when you could gut a Line6 Variax guitar and install it in another guitar—none of that here? I know that was @dayn's thing for a while too... I used to be all about that; and actually had the guts from a Variax 300 set aside for a transplant, circa 2010/11. I never got aroun...

Re: My former '08 Tangerine Mojo with Belew Mods
When Hoover installed the Sustainiac, did he drill through the back of the body to mount the driver in the neck pickup pocket? Yes. I had and still have mixed feelings about the form vs function aspects of having pickup adjustment screws countersunk into the rear of a Fly. I’d personally rather hav...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
This Ken-era red Fly Classic misidentified as a 2010 Deluxe is currently listed for $2,791+tax. I'm highlighting this particular listing due to this detail: D3D62C43-C2E2-4E26-AD2D-1173D70F9955.jpeg What leads a seller to misread, misrepresent, then try to hide the actual serial # in a photo of the...

My former '08 Tangerine Mojo with Belew Mods
Coming across these (low quality) pics during some tedious computer housekeeping spurred me to reminisce in this subforum: 1.JPG Around the start of 2011, I had a laidback job and frugal living situation which allowed me to waste a lot of time and disposable income on guitars (I’d often make a racke...

Re: Vibrato amplitude
I must apologize, Voice of Reason - I’ve been forgetting to respond to this since the 28th: With my three Ken-era Flys, lowering the pitch/compressing the spring until the foam tip of the bar is against the body detunes the high e down a m3 (give or take a few cents) to a C#. The B varies between th...

Re: Twisted Trem Spring
Gregsaab , unless I’m misremembering, the T bar is held in place by the force of the spring under tension; and can’t be “tightened.” What you’re describing sounds as though the spring deformed under tension over the course of time. Without photos to go by to see if anything else deformed, I would t...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
This beater ‘05 natural Mojo with broken trem bushing, minimal finish hazing, and the incorrect 2014 specs attributed to it (e.g., Graphtech saddles and preamp instead of the obvious Fishman bearing saddles) has been appraised by the owner as being worth $3,084.99+tax because it ships in a case with...

Beautiful prototype, you have there. Can’t wait to see the next tweak/iteration or hear this one.

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
This one may go quickly: Late era Mojo in Lime Gold (claimed to be 2011) with Graphtech electronics and an external GK3 presumably mounted by someone who either didn’t know about the Hexpander mod, or simply preferred the GK pickup performance with Roland gear. It’s being sold by Sam Ash; which mean...

Re: Parker Fly, NiteFly, and Fly Bass Electronics and Wiring Guides
Mitch5 , jb63 , I suggest running this by the experts at https://www.vguitarforums.com - Even if they can’t ID the factory switch, I expect someone there can link to a near-identical one. I’ve wondered this myself, but never came close enough to a Graphtech-era factory MIDIFly to check under the ho...

Re: Mislabeled Spring?
+1. You had a spare spring of the same rating on-hand to troubleshoot and diagnose that the previous spring was the culprit. The only quality test left is to use the dubious spring to balance a 9-42 set and see if it’s suited for relabeling or feeding to an enemy. Though it may turn out that I’m spe...

My indignation stemmed from the seller pretending to be an individual parting with a guitar which held significant sentimental value for them (The listing body included su...

Re: Problem with volume control on mag pick ups.
JACK G , that pot should be fine, provided the 250k value and logarithmic taper are to your preference, and your preferred knob will fit on the split shaft-end. I hate pot gremlins. Most guitar pots are so cheaply manufactured that, if a spritz of DeoxIT or other contact cleaner doesn’t fix an inte...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
Amazing! I would’ve considered this a beater some years ago. Buy it for 1200 and strip and refinish with a natural satin finish. $2600 is just unreal to me. I had the same thoughts. That said, the $2,500 region seems to be as low as beater Fly listings sink before selling, as of late. Sub-$2.5k see...
