Hi vaya —welcome! I was concerned that the listing you cited was fraudulent—the seller has no feedback and it looks like the listing you won is the same as this listing . If you read this thread (up a few posts) you’ll see that this sort of scam has been going around Reverb for some time—a Fly price...

Welcome @Squidz66! Great-looking Fly, and thanks for the backstory!

Glad we’ve all found eachother

From what I understand, the scam involves only offering buyers a PayPal payment option, which is much harder for Reverb to refund.

Because it’s a scam!

Hi @Gregsaab—yes, if you’re looking to use the Graphtech saddles with the Fishman Powerchip then you’d follow the steps in that first document you linked. Soldering would be required as per step “B”.

Hell yeah, @Big Swifty!

That story had everything! Way to be resilient!

Yeah, this almost has a good look to it in the photos—I agree that it’s really cool!

I’m really curious what this one sounds like—I’ve been looking at it for a while now

From one of you, it sounds like Mr. Parker sometimes sometimes chimes in here. It would certainly be fascinating to hear his take on this model. Hi ChrisB —happy to help. Yes, Ken Parker is a contributor here and a research affiliate in our lab, EGIL. You can learn a bit more about his involvement ...

Hi colliderman —it’s from this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235230973953?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TEFnCCqlSIe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=t2FC-pxrRIC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY …and I believe they called it Galaxy Gray—we’d have to check the...

Hi jazzwalk and welcome! You probably have noticed a few sitting on Reverb in the $3,500 price range—they have been there a long time it seems, and I don’t anticipate them selling at that price. I paid about $2000 for mine back in April 2018 and I thought that was a pretty fair price. We’ve seen som...

Hi ChrisB , and welcome! Yes, you are correct in identifying the Fly Classic model and year and, by the look of it, it seems like a one-off finish— Ken Parker is a creative guy, and through the years he did lots of different tweaks here and there, especially with finishes—this appears to be one of t...

Thanks, Mike987 ! I’ve been tracking with it this week—very cool actually! The neck pickup especially! I was waiting to make a reply in this thread once I had some audio I felt comfortable sharing, but—in short—it’s a cool Fly! I’ve been so used to the humbuckers on the Fly, so this feels like the s...

The one with the giant chip on the side is not worth 3k imho. I would also not pay $3k for a Supreme with a chip in it. Not to dissuade you or anyone from buying a Supreme, I own a Fly Maple Custom, colliderman , and it’s a fine instrument, but the differences between it and the Deluxe are subtle—t...

I’ll add that I have observed the same and I think Marc is correct with what he’s written here.

Hi colliderman and welcome! An exact record does not exist. We can speculate, however, and from what Ken Parker and others that worked at Parker Guitars in Wilmington have said, the Fly Supreme was not a rare model; it was a bit more expensive than a Fly Deluxe because of the materials (highly-figur...

Hi @Reharm the NiteFly does have a traditional truss rod as opposed to the truss wire system in the original Fly. If you look at the 22nd fret of a NiteFly, you will see the truss rod nut.

Where can I buy this flexible circuit board now?

They’re still there Maybe you have a country restriction setting in your account?

Interesting regarding the spring's position on the three-ridge spring plate. I figured this was related more to the tension on the spring than the feel. Though admittedly I haven't searched much on this topic, I did do a little looking around for more info related to this and struck out. With this ...
