Re: Increasing neck thickness in refinishing?

There may yet be a more appropriate subforum for this topic (the trash? :lol: ). Though my Flys are a joy to play, I find my thicker-necked guitars more comfortable. Being as I have a refinishing project coming up, I'm considering an experiment which may cause some to clutch their pearls: Cutting a...

There's never an appropriate response to such an announcement.
Thanks for taking the time and caring enough to check on Gary, Marc.

Re: STILL THE ONE!

Hi.
What I don’t understand is why are we assuming pots and switches are OK?
I have a spare preamp. I keep it as a spare but I’m not unwilling to sell it if it helps a fellow Flyer.
But I would not assume anything. Test and test again. To me, the preamp is the least likely offender.

Re: STILL THE ONE!

I've been consulting with my local guitar/amp tech. He found 2 broken wires in flexible PCB that he says only affect piezo tone control. Hmmm, maybe, maybe not. Also, if the PCB is broken, there's no telling what else has been damaged. PCBs don't break by themselves. I would test the switch first, ...

Re: Parker Fly Deluxe vs Mojo

The fingerboard lifts up slightly. This results in "high frets" which are not really high. The whole fretboard is high. Look at the seam between the neck and the fretboard. It should be very clean with no sign of separation between the board and the neck. OK, so it will be visible along t...

By the way, if that doesn't solve it, then it means your amazing looking Butternut Limited edition fly is irremediably broken and you must send it to me for free! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Parker Fly battery

I would suspect that the jack switch which senses a plug inserted is defective. To check this, check continuity on the battery connector with and without an instrument cable connected. You might have to repair/replace the input jack.

Re: String tension during dive bomb

One thing I would suggest is that after you have installed your strings, you push down on the string just north of the saddle. The G string is stiffer than the E and B strings, and therefore will retain some elasticity at the saddle break. If you push down on it, the string will break in a little be...

Re: STILL THE ONE!

Well, it seems to be either the switch or the preamp.
Hopefully it's only the switch. That shouldn't be too hard to test. Do you have a multimeter?

Re: STILL THE ONE!

Test the function of the small red switch next to the battery holder.
Does the MV work the same no matter the position of that switch?

Thanks @Patzag
Unfortunately, all Parker prices have seriously increased since the pandemic. Still, it's a nice guitar. Enjoy it.
