Beautiful, @igor. Looks to be a Graphtech Ghost Hexpander/Acoustiphonic setup. What control layout did you settle on?

Down to $2,100 for this Purple '02 Deluxe with Parker gigbag and no hex bar.

Edit: Thank you Pat for correcting my apparent color blindness (guitar looked black on one device and on another is clearly purple).

LedZeff , you're in good company to have assumed that to be the sensible function of the switch; and there is a mod to achieve what you want: Per the Electronics and Wiring Guides thread , You can replace the mag/mix/piezo switch with a 4PDT on/on/on selector switch (such as the Dimarzio EP1111 or ...

Post refine if it makes a difference. Will pay twice what it's worth but I need one bad! The "Anatomy of the Fly" resource thread lists this Reverb seller as fabricating titanium Fly bushings to order. I'm not currently aware of alternatives other than 3D-printing the part; so please let ...

@LedZeff, Your '05 SA doesn't have the stereo/mono switch because the Fishman Powerchip preamp used in Parker guitars by that point switches automatically, according to whether you have a stereo or mono cable plugged in. If your guitar doesn't do this, there's an internal issue to be addressed.

Outliers are out there: The Roland GK3 unit on this 2011 Lime Gold Mojo tipped it over 7lbs. The current owner (Fly Clone member kmadd) confirmed that the guitar is approx. 6.4 lbs with the pickup removed; which makes it their heaviest Fly: https://reverb.com/item/60151804-parker-fly-mojo-electric-g...

The stereo wires from outputted from the preamp to the jack also act as mono/stereo-switching wires for an impedance-sensor, depending on if a T/...

Fly Rod , let's see if we can't save money by troubleshooting this: Do you think the issue rests with the preamp, saddle elements, or both? The Fishman Powerchip preamp is still produced/sold for less than than the complete Graphtech retrofit will cost. And if the issue happens to come down to the ...

kurrykid , without seeing the rear of the guitar or headstock (I assume it has a serial number and "made in USA" etching), your guitar appears to be a DF524 which was specifically ordered with a birch body. In the last five years or so of Parker Guitars being based out of the Washburn USA...

I though these pots were sealed and therefore impervious to DeOxit even getting in there. Even "sealed", I'll be surprised if the pot was constructed without some mechanism of access for cleaning or replacing the carbon track (unfortunately, this is further counterproductive to your wanti...

Anyone has master volume pots for a deluxe or classic in perfect shape? Looking for zero friction and mine are starting to feel a little gritty. Hard to do the Jeff Beck swells! Can't find a retailer for the original tocos! Have you yet attempted cleaning and lubricating the pots ? Are you at all o...

The bridge adjustments on a Fly are actually less -complicated than the Floyd Roses techs typically see. I suppose the tension-rated flatspring system may require up-front explanation, along with a pdf of the “Fly trem setup guide” being provided. I’m looking forward to seeing what others suggest. M...

Thanks. I'm happy to shoot the breeze with anyone about gear.

Excellent. I haven't yet had to deal with this, but will reference your experience should I have to.

Any preference you may have for the 20 or 30 if prices are similar? I saw a 33 also that looks to be in a similar price range, if not less expensive. This thread recommends the 33 over the 20 and 30 . Then again, it seems the 33 has no COSM guitar modeling ala Variax, as the 55 does. So other than ...

Which Roland or other guitar synth unit is a good one to start out with / test the electronics? What kind of cable is needed to go from the synth unit to the amp? Firstly, congrats! I know others here are also into 13 pin stuff. So, until they chime in: Whichever synth unit you end up going with, y...

The only MIDIAxe breakout boxes I see are generally bundled with the guitars, @Ivor. I'll let you know if I come across one. Best of luck tracking one down in the meantime.

We've seen NiteFly owners grow more and more bold in the speculator marketplace known as Reverb; so it's no surprise that the owner of a green NFV-SA set up for slide with high action and a set of 12s wants to see if they can get more than $3k for it, at a time when the $2,600 Fly listings aren't mo...

I have an inquiry out to Dimarzio requesting the meter reads for the neck pickup (presumably the PHWB 2 ) and will post them here if/when I get them! I had a brain fart in the other thread concerning the model numbers but, FWIW, the Gen 1 neck is/was "PHWN1." Each pickup has either an &qu...

Assuming that all goes as planned, I'd like to offer this broken pickup to you @mmguitar, in the hopes that it might be a useful addition to your parts collection...? Sure, if you insist. I have a number of pickups with broken windings from over the years that I've been saving for when I finally fe...
