Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
If the retrofit on the Mojo goes well, I may do the same on the two deluxes. The lower friction coefficient and matte finish is attractive.

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
I was considering doing it myself, but I think SportHiTech may be the better choice.

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
One of the USM saddles on my Mojo has a small bur at the contact point and another saddle is a bit worn, so I am planning on getting a set of Ghosts. Looking at these two docs: https://flyclone.com/_files/Notices_Schematics/Graphtec_Saddles_and_Preamp/DiagramRetrofittingGraphtechSaddles.pdf and http...

Re: Electronic issue
Well… the issue has nothing to do with the Fly, it’s the wireless transmitter. Huge relief!

Re: Electronic issue
I’m just getting to this now - it’s not obvious to me how to modify the depth of the jack. Does the jack thread onto the outer plate, or is the plate and the inner threads a single piece? There is very little room to adjust the ring on the threads. This helps a bit: https://flyclone.com/viewtopic.ph...

Re: Electronic issue
Rolling the volume back did reduce distortion - I only attempted the mono switch when waiting for the output, so I’m not sure on that front. The battery has a vintage of about a month.
I’m going to adjust the jack later today, will keep you guys updated.

Re: Electronic issue
Your jack is probably recessed too far into the guitar. The collar has to be screwed in a bit to allow the jack to travel all the way in. Open the backplate to prevent the jack from rotating and ripping the ribbon cable as you tighten the collar. As needed, adjust the nut inside to ensure proper po...

Electronic issue
A couple days ago my ‘98 started having an issue where it now takes 10 seconds for any sound to be emitted, and when it does, it is distorted/very boosted. Something else I noticed is that my wire does not feel very tight in the 1/4” inch jack - almost feels like it is not fully engaged. Edit: no pr...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
Does anyone else remember ten or so years ago, when you could find used Emerald Green Deluxes online for $1,000 or less all day long; because they were the least desirable color? Oh yes! 😄 I always liked that color FWIW 💚😊 I quite like Emerald, as well. If I recall correctly, in one of Vj’s videos,...

Re: “What’s This Worth?” Thread
I’ve recently grown a keen interest in Abasi Concept guitars, particularly the emi 6. I am considering selling a few items to cover the fairly hefty cost, one of which is my Mojo. Out of guilt, I listed this same guitar on Reverb last year after picking up my second Deluxe. When it sold, however, I ...

Example of play:

Re: Parker Fly Deluxe vs Mojo
Back to the discussion on refined vs pre-refined trem arms — do your pre-refined Fly’s have any play between the arm and the bushing? Both of mine have ever-so-slight play, which results in an annoying little sound, especially with quick trem flutters. Could I rectify that by adding a tiny bit more ...
