Still looking for well over a year. Tried a bunch of stuff out to no avail. So I FINALLY got around to looking at some Majesty's. I'd seen the flip flop paint with carbon shield model in the past and thought it was hideous. But they have other finishes, and some decent looking wood tops. And wouldn'...

Gad prices must be bad out in Cali right about now.

I messaged the seller, he never responded. Looks like I missed out on "the one". When I picture in my mind eye 7 strings Parker fly, this particular guitar comes up.
Oh well, at least an FM9 will be here in a few days. Though I ain't gonna lie I'm crushed.

Oh my Lord. What a roller coaster. Literally spent the last week failing to convince myself to order a Strandberg 7. Then yesterday got my invite to purchase the new FM9 after a few months of being on the wait-list, which I did. Then today this. I've got 4 kids and a fixed income, I can't play these...

That's a little outta my reach right now. But I'm on it! Studio fire sale incoming!

Pretty much at the same conclusion regarding adding a 13 pin of some sort etc. I did spend an hour or so with a boden metal 6 today at a semi local guitar denter. It's not an NX, or a 7 string, and has been kicking around a guitar center for a couple years, and didn't have a trem, but it did have th...

The time is drawing near where I have to make something happen here. Over a year without even seeing a Parker 7, and my back can't take it any more. I'm looking hard at that Strandberg prog nx7 model, and I keep building stuff on kiesels website, though they can't quite tick all my boxes regardless ...

That's more than a cosmetic issue.

Yea man, have a bunch of cash ready to go, and when you see one just give the guy what he wants. I've been jonesing for a 7 string parker for years. I just keep missing out in the 2 I have seen for sale in the last three years. Kids will put a damper on your guitar fund.

Man I legit loose sleep at night over my poor fly spring and all the abuse I give it on the daily. But I can't bring myself to stop using it, so I just flirt with disaster every time I whap that bar for a flutter.

Makes me feel better and better about the, seemingly at the time, small fortune I spent on mine.

Yes someone swapped those pickups around at some point. If swap them back, reset EVERYTHING to noon and start over, but that's just me.

I remember your casino days from the epiphone forum. I think my username was guitar doctor there?

Get the NYXL set, the plain ones not the coated ones. Well worth it, that’s all I’ll bother with on my fly now.

Well, as an avid fly trem abuser and luthier of 20 years, feel free to send me some prototypes for testing once they’re ready!

This is the aspect of my fly obsession that keeps me up at night. Literally everything else I can do a work around for and stay up and running. But if I run out of springs, my Parker just rots in its case. Yes I could block it off, but I just don’t get on with hard tails, and the fly trem is just su...

Have you tried new strings yet? Best to rule out the simple stuff first. If you put a fresh set on when you bought it, put on another G string.

I’ll take that ribbon assembly off ya! HNGD!
