My pleasure. I just hope the other guys knew what they were talking about - I'm merely one of those guitarists who memorizes wrong answers on the internet.

Taxtime is approaching, so its either one way or the other.
Perhaps I should have waited until after everyone got their refunds. Being as the current top bidder is apparently a collector with 22+ Parkers, I suppose it will come down to whether he's into 13 pin stuff.

Re: P-36 Value and Serial Number Decoder?

Welcome, oldair1968 . Per recently sold listings , it would seem that P-36s have been going for between $450-$1,000 USD, depending on condition. You can reference this in negotiating what you feel is the fairest price with the seller. You seem to already know about the following; so this is moreso f...

Re: FS: '97 Trans Blue Classic MIDI

Good luck with the sale! Thanks. I’m hoping that, with the prices I’ve set, I’ll either confirm depreciation/decreased market demand by losing money, confirm that “upgrades” are equity through breaking even, or profit as a consequence of underestimating demand. Should I get zero bids, I’ll still ha...

Re: Trans Blue '97 Classic

To elaborate upon what I disclaimed in my listing : I spent a while hunting gremlins in the course of trying to determine why the Acousti-Phonic preamp was introducing a mild ground hum into the signal path (fortunately, it's not present when grounding the guitar by actually playing or otherwise tou...

**SOLD** '97 Trans Blue Classic MIDI

This is a bit of an experiment: I have the guitar listed for a one week auction on eBay to better gauge demand; and will update the "What is This Worth?" thread to reflect my findings. Should the guitar not sell on eBay for whatever reason, I'll be updating this post to list it here for a ...

Re: Can you identify this mystery Parker Fly guitar player (circa 1993 - 1996)?

Thank you so much! I'll keep looking for this mystery guitarist. The search for this 'lost' song is growing quite rapidly, so we hope to solve it soon. I wish I could be more helpful. I looked through whatever promotional materials for the brand between '94 and '96 Google turned up; and didn't find...

Re: Replicate Fly piezo electronics

I bought a 250k concentric pot based on the forum's feedback but the Powerchip's vol pot (I discovered last night) was only 10k! Ouch! I dug a Fishman Powerchip board out of my parts box, and found the volume pot to be linear taper ("B"), 20k -rated. Your A10k pot should still work for th...

Thanks all! Nothing plays like a Parker!!! As I recall, you already own a MidiFly; and therefore can have so...

Ah. That saves me the trouble of looking through my parts boxes for a hex bushing to offer.

And, of course, congrats on your natural grain beauty. :o

Re: The Eagle has landed!

the trem arm it was shipped with is refined (?) My black '96 was the same. I recall the retrofitting of trem arm bushings and point-to-point rewiring mods becoming fads in the first decade of the USM era, for the sake of bringing "obsolete" Flys up to modern spec; with Ken-era Flys exhibi...

Re: Fake Signature - Wow!

I'm impressed that the forged signature manages to look so unlike the signature printed right next to it which should have served as a reference. I've also noted an uptick in sellers disingenuously upgrading the listed conditions of their pick-swirled, buckle-rashed, and/or chipped Flys to "min...

Re: Trans Blue '97 Classic

Here's what I ended up doing with the guitar after deciding I'd be selling it: Much like my '96 Deluxe , the magnetic circuit for the Gen 1s is 500k Volume and Tone, with a FreeWay selector switch for series and split combinations (I wired the neck-facing coils of each pickup to be active when split...

Re: Black '96 Deluxe "Guinea Pig"

Bump. I ended up selling this guitar to a forum member who PMed me after I posted about the Belew. I removed most of my personal tweaks and put in a set of Gen 1 pickups, 500k volume and tone, an Acousti-Phonic board, and a 250k dual concentric pot for piezo and hex volume. The buyer wanted the cont...
