Re: Can you identify this mystery Parker Fly guitar player (circa 1993 - 1996)?
The white nut suggests he's playing a '93 Fly.

Re: Replicate Fly piezo electronics
I bought a 250k concentric pot based on the forum's feedback but the Powerchip's vol pot (I discovered last night) was only 10k! Ouch! I dug a Fishman Powerchip board out of my parts box, and found the volume pot to be linear taper ("B"), 20k -rated. Your A10k pot should still work for th...

Re: Midifly Back Plate
Just wonder if there somewhere that I could obtain a back plate for a Midifly that I'm considering? Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question but I will take any help possible. Thanks all! Nothing plays like a Parker!!! As I recall, you already own a MidiFly; and therefore can have so...

Re: The Eagle has landed!
Ah. That saves me the trouble of looking through my parts boxes for a hex bushing to offer.
And, of course, congrats on your natural grain beauty.

Re: The Eagle has landed!
the trem arm it was shipped with is refined (?) My black '96 was the same. I recall the retrofitting of trem arm bushings and point-to-point rewiring mods becoming fads in the first decade of the USM era, for the sake of bringing "obsolete" Flys up to modern spec; with Ken-era Flys exhibi...

Re: Fake Signature - Wow!
I'm impressed that the forged signature manages to look so unlike the signature printed right next to it which should have served as a reference. I've also noted an uptick in sellers disingenuously upgrading the listed conditions of their pick-swirled, buckle-rashed, and/or chipped Flys to "min...

Re: Gus's Byzantine Fly Mod
Again, I thank you for documenting and sharing your project, @Augustonian. I’ve added and credited your helpful tip about loosening the threaded inserts with a soldering iron prior to removal to the Sustainiac installation guide.

Re: Trans Blue '97 Classic
Here's what I ended up doing with the guitar after deciding I'd be selling it: Much like my '96 Deluxe , the magnetic circuit for the Gen 1s is 500k Volume and Tone, with a FreeWay selector switch for series and split combinations (I wired the neck-facing coils of each pickup to be active when split...

Re: Black '96 Deluxe "Guinea Pig"
Bump. I ended up selling this guitar to a forum member who PMed me after I posted about the Belew. I removed most of my personal tweaks and put in a set of Gen 1 pickups, 500k volume and tone, an Acousti-Phonic board, and a 250k dual concentric pot for piezo and hex volume. The buyer wanted the cont...

Re: Reshape Hex Trem bar
White94FlyDeluxe , this thread has some posts about unsoldering the humbucker series connections from the selector switch. However you bent your strat bar should work for the Fly bar - It's just likely going to require more force. The below method should allow for sufficient leverage: https://www.y...

Re: GK-3 install/tape residue
Hello, Lori. Does anyone out there have any experience with this type of install. Is it stable? can it be removed without damaging the finish of the guitar? Though the tape Roland supplies should be safe for your Fly's finish, I remember it being lower tack than the roll of M3 mounting tape I have (...

Thanks Marc. I have a spare 10 spring so I’ll stick it in there and see if it handles. Might do the trick. In 3 weeks when I’m back! Did you ever get a chance to investigate this further, by chance? I was going to add the "SpringIssues" hashtag, then realized we never narrowed down the so...

Re: Output Jack Replacement
Hey I noticed the output jack on my 94 Fly Deluxe is a bit loose, it's so loose that my cable falls out sometimes. I think soldering in a new jack might be something easy enough for me to handle, is there a brand of output jack that I can buy that is similar in size to the original jack that these ...
