Re: “What’s this worth?” thread

Nice looking NiteFly, Dachillies ! Over this past summer, I saw a few good condition NiteFlys sell at Guitar Center for around $700 +/- $50, and, for a long time, Reverb and eBay would routinely carry NiteFlys in 9/10 condition listed for around $800 - $950. I’m fairly certain that the NiteFlys curr...

Re: Modifying a Fly Mojo Singlecut case to fit a Fly

Thanks, m’man! My brother bought this case for me a few months ago, and it’s been sitting next to my workbench waiting for surgery. 😀 Once I confirmed that it wasn’t a big deal to mod the case, yes, I did make an offer and buy that other case that was recently listed on eBay! 😉 To restate it: there ...

Re: Balanced String Set/Bridge Issues

Happy to help! Keep us posted. To clarify: yes, I knew that a locking nut wasn’t installed—I was saying that as an example of a certain type of clamping at that end of the guitar; nut slots that are too tight/something can do a similar type of clamping. Sounds like you’re saying that’s not what’s ha...

Re: Balanced String Set/Bridge Issues

Glad you're up and running again--sorry to hear that there are still some hiccups though. One comment that, unfortunately, is not a solution or even a clearly defined phenomenon: the "feeling" thing you mentioned is, it seems, a factor related to tension; not tension on the instrument (tha...

Hey—this case says “Parker” on it, which I’m pretty sure is the case-equivalent way of saying “this goes up to eleven!” 🤪

Modifying a Fly Mojo Singlecut case to fit a Fly

Remember that time you bought an OEM case for Fly Mojo Singlecut thinking it would fit a Fly? I do! 😙 Quick mod!

Re: “What’s this worth?” thread

Hahaha no worries—thanks for the further points. More abstract philosophizing: When we talk about the bubble, are we talking about “people buying guitars as collectibles” or “people buying guitars as utilities/tools”? My impression based on what we’ve been saying is that the collectors are the ones ...

Re: “What’s this worth?” thread

I could go into a whole philosophical thing about how we're all more isolated and have fewer connections with real people Are you referring specifically to pandemic-related isolation or just “modern times”?
