The "Anatomy of the Fly" resource thread lists this Reverb seller as fabricating titanium Fly bushings to order. I'm not currently aware of alternatives other than 3D-printing the part; so please let us know if you hit any walls in sourcing one.

Even though I paid already they're gonna work with me on the price. I'll drive home the hens teeth argument on the bushing and see what the final price is. No case at all (again whos gonna give up their hard case) and no whammy bar either so we'll see about 2k. Maybe it sits a year before I find what I need but fuck it I'm a gambler. The last lime one on reverb sold for 5k so I think it's worth a try.

Was this still in the moratorium period when you bought it hence needing the runner for pickup? If so I'm kind of curious about how that works. I would have assumed they put restrictions on the pick-up person.

I’ve got some delrin bushings I had custom made. Should never break like the molded ones that come stock.

I need to get my butt in gear and make a post but $24 ea shipped.

What's going on with your guitar? The listing is still up but has been altered:
This used Parker Fly Custom Shop Lime Green 1 of 5 Electric Guitar has been tested and is fully functional in good overall condition. This model's at this price due to a few factors - no case hard, knobs are not original, electronics may be upgraded (not sure if its custom shop or not) and the bushing for the (missing) trem arm is broken. It has a .10 spring inside that is not split or cracked. There's a couple small dings and the paint is worn down where your arm rests.
That's odd because their price hasn't changed. I've bought from MGR online several times including from this exact store and I always expect it's going to be worse than the listing claims, so I'm only willing to pay bottom dollar. It's amazing how little detail they provide for instruments costing several thousand dollars.

I’d love to buy one of these if they are available? Happy to post postage to Australia.
