Re: Tracking down a Belew

Thanks for the leads :lol: I'm not holding my breath on one of these showing up for sale before a custom build I just started with another brand wraps up. At the very least, thinking about it took my black '96 with graphtech ghost kit off its dusty spot on the rack and put it back into my hands, aga...

Re: A summary of the Fly changes, issues, and forum opinions through the years and a brief history of Parker Guitars

It may just be my imagination, but I recall at least one person ordering a Fly with a factory-installed Sustainiac in that final period where every instrument was essentially built-to-order through the dealer network. It stuck in my mind because the NGD disclaimer was "No; it's not a Belew - Yo...

Re: Tracking down a Belew

No doubt it would be quite the undertaking - Certainly more than I’d be willing to brave (I’d personally just build a guitar from scratch, at that point). I do recall Variax components being fit into a Nitefly (but not if it was Dayn), and I’m afraid my own past experience with Alan Hoover was unple...

Tracking down a Belew

Hi, all. I’ve been kicking tires on Reverb and eBay Fly listings for a few months, now. What I’ve come to realize is that nothing will scratch the itch like finding my white whale: An Adrian Belew sig. I’ve lusted for one ever since first seeing Adrian with a prototype, but was never able to justify...

Re: Fly Deluxe Scratched

Bump. I have a beaten up Fly I'm wanted repainted, but would rather mail it off than do it myself (too many other guitar projects going). Last I heard from Shazrock years ago was that they were no longer repainting Flys, due to relic status. I'm just looking for a plain color refinish from a reputab...

Cherry ‘07 classic on Reverb

Saw this listing and am curious to know what others think about the condition. As ugly as the “filled” neck chips are, I don’t see any fingerboard-lifting. Seller shared via PM that it’s 6.2 lbs - Which is heavier than I’m wanting, right now. The main appeal for me is it already being beaten up and ...
