Haha I’m loving your various theories, @MadMac, and, as I mentioned, the one person who I’d trust to remember this, @Ken Parker, said he has no record of why that logo was done on some guitars and not others. Now...regarding your theory about the archetypal “master Fly”...Ken has confirms on numero...

hello,
and here how they look compared to Hipshot ... M.

hello, well here i‘ll wanna show the Graphtech Ratio Tuner... to me a masterpiece like the fly... A right handed set of Locking Ratio Calibrated Machine Heads for electric guitar that use 6 in-line tuners with staggered posts (eliminates the need for a string tree). It has has a two pin casing that ...

had to repost here too @ vjmanzo FYI—I spoke with @Ken Parker earlier today and, in passing, asked about the “label” differences on the Classic through the years, and he said “I have no idea”. :lol: To me, it sounds like an idea that was championed more so by the marketing team at Parker Guitars dur...

What do you like more about the Graphtech tuners? I've never seen them. @ jb63 well to make it short... the perfect build quality & different speeds ratios for the strings... that is engineering... where people think about the needs of the user and not what the creator likes to see.... i‘ll lov...

hello, well after nearly finishing my second fly's mod... it's time to make a post with all the parts and how too for all interested ... the Mod is not complicated and no new holes need to make... only one hole wider for the separate hexpander piezo's. motivation: got my hands on a SY-1000 from Boss...

hello, while setting up my two fly's i'll found that the classic has classic printed on the headstock... the deluxe has guitars... under the Parker name... did some research and only found that the Classic has Classic standing on... interesting this extra approach... are there any other fly's with t...

I’d bet that the nuts didn’t look like that when they left the factory. It’s possible though! yes good possible... with the age and temps on stage ... the plastic change maybe? ... and i'll know what you mean... hehe that happen when you love it... and you know you have a Mercedes .... but the door...

Parker’s shine and always will. so true... so well said! much more in the future... when musicians are more open... I’m really disappointed I never had a Parker when I was young, it would have allowed me to be a much better player. same here... me too... i‘m sure with today tech... producing a new ...

hello, well looks very professional done...! much respect What I WASN'T able to do was get a same-sized switch for the Synth / Mags / Both switch, and I'd really like to do that for a future install. Anyone know what part that would be? YES :-) C&K: 7211T1CGE love the C&K toggles... use also...
