Re: Most trouble-free solution (tracking-wise) for guitar synth?
Are you active on the vguitarforums , Jupiter ? They're always on the bleeding edge of guitar synth tech, with very objective and critical reviews of the latest stuff as they put it through its paces. My meager contribution to the topic is that the whole guitar synth scene seems to be a matter of &q...

Re: Springs
6 months and no updates, or did I just miss them? Nah - You're in good company. The impression I've been under (merely a notion, on my part) is that Terry selling his NOS batch of Excel 9 and 10 springs on Reverb has freed the parties invested in this undertaking to take their time with it. Between...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
Anyone here catch this baby? I saw it. Hopefully the new owner's happy with the condition. Now that a week has passed (and the buyer has indicated his overall satisfaction), it seems appropriate to document the informal market experiment I volunteered my '97 Classic for: Original context for purcha...

Re: Parker Nitefly M wiring
there is an awful buzz. Should every component be connected to the same ground? Only to the extent necessary to avoid hum-generating ground loops. So long as every component’s ground signal is being passed along to the appropriate lug of the jack in a linear manner, everything should work. You can ...

Re: 1. Outside Tour Reeves Gabrels Fly Guitar
A guy in the FB groups recently converted a Deluxe to a poplar-bodied Concert by filling the cavities and repainting. In the last few years of USM production, you could actually order Flys without pickup routs (I seem to recall dayn or someone else having a tangerine Deluxe with only RMC saddles as ...

Re: Parker Nitefly M wiring
mikejcurtis , scroll down this post a ways and you’ll see the factory illustration for the NiteFly M wiring. From those two photos, it looks as though neither of the pickup hot wires are soldered to the selector switch, nor their series connection wires to the middle lugs of the tone pot’s push/pul...

Re: Gus's Byzantine Fly Mod
Absolutely gorgeous, @Augustonian. How is the sustainer driver performing at that distance from the strings? If you're happy with it, I'll probably deepen the rout of my Belew to allow for it (I pick over the neck pickup; and prefer as much clearance as I can get away with).

Re: Nfv4 bridge mods possible?
jserrins , I did some fast and loose caliper measurements on my way out the door: The official spec width for your “dog bone” iteration saddles (of which I have none on-hand) is 10.5mm. The Graph Tech saddle I measured showed a 10.3mm width. The “USM” iteration saddle I measured was 10.92mm (which ...

Re: Trans Blue '97 Classic
Being as none of my guitars are set up for approximating acoustic stuff, here's a quick demo of some lower fret string buzz comparing the piezo sounds of the RMC PolyDrive, Graph Tech Acousti-Phonic, Variax 1.0 model of a '59 Martin D-28 and, finally, the Roland GR-55's modeled D-28 (which seems to ...

Re: Nfv4 bridge mods possible?
Im guessing the lack of responses is my answer… I had been following your issue since seeing it in the other thread; and was hoping a NiteFly owner with firstand insight would chime in. Are you willing to post photos? Please correct anything I'm getting wrong: *You have a '97 NFV4 with a non-functi...

Re: Replicate Fly piezo electronics
Wow great reply. I contacted Fishman last week and learned my measurement was off. The Powerchip volume pot is actually 20k linear as someone had pointed out in the forum earlier (so much info in here). I had asked the same question about a capacitor recommendation and no one has responded yet. Der...

Re: Replicate Fly piezo electronics
My question is, what size cap do I use on the tone pot for the piezo? My apologies for the delay in replying to this - I emailed Fishman; and am waiting to hear back concerning their prescribed component values. Because I have no firsthand experience with adding a tone control to a Powerchip (in wh...

Re: 2011 Trans Honey Supreme
I'm curious how the pots are fused in the Belew [...] I didn't think those Tocos had enough rod to push. I don’t know how Axel achieved his prototype, but Dennis confirmed that he machined a longer shaft rod to bridge the Tocos switching pot and the DPDT portion of an alpha push-pull. A machined br...

Re: 2011 Trans Honey Supreme
Well, the cheap version would be to get a dual gang push pull, tear it apart, scratch off the channel near a lug, and use that lug and the center as your "switch." You don't get the satisfying click, but it would do the job! I could provide further details if needed. Thanks - That’s almos...

My pleasure. I just hope the other guys knew what they were talking about - I'm merely one of those guitarists who memorizes wrong answers on the internet.

Re: FS: '97 Trans Blue Classic MIDI
Perhaps I should have waited until after everyone got their refunds. Being as the current top bidder is apparently a collector with 22+ Parkers, I suppose it will come down to whether he's into 13 pin stuff.

Re: P-36 Value and Serial Number Decoder?
Welcome, oldair1968 . Per recently sold listings , it would seem that P-36s have been going for between $450-$1,000 USD, depending on condition. You can reference this in negotiating what you feel is the fairest price with the seller. You seem to already know about the following; so this is moreso f...

Re: FS: '97 Trans Blue Classic MIDI
Good luck with the sale! Thanks. I’m hoping that, with the prices I’ve set, I’ll either confirm depreciation/decreased market demand by losing money, confirm that “upgrades” are equity through breaking even, or profit as a consequence of underestimating demand. Should I get zero bids, I’ll still ha...
