I am having trouble identifying the model of my DragonFly. Folks on TGP sent me here. It's an HSS (HB has a pickup ring while singles are direct mounted). Serial is pictured if dating helps. Looks to be an ebony board. I believe pickups are aftermarket.
What's odd is no piezo switch on body or batter cutout for preamp on the back panel. The bridge has piezo saddles though with summing bar and wire.
Any experts know what this is?

It has a battery and 3 knobs. There is also a pic of the cavity.

So aftermarket mods and a USA neck. Possibly a franked-parker (made from parts). I've bought one or 2 of those. If it plays nice, none of the cracks would bother me.
Still, looks like it has the power chip.
Seems a little overpriced since you would likely have to do a bunch of work after purchase.
But if you're in the market for that configuration, those USA necks are nice. Be sure the truss rod works!

Was there a USA dragonfly with an ebony neck? I don’t remember that.
Re: An Odd DragonFly What is this
All of the USA bolt-ons from the 500 series and up had ebony fretboards. Only the 400 series had rosewood. And of course the 800s had the carbon wrap composite board.
