Maybe you have my old Fly Deluxe? Gold 1996 w/coil taps

Post by Darth Tater »

Going down memory lane here, I just posted a .010 gauge spring in the classifieds that came with my Fly from the 90's and was just curious if maybe somebody here had my old Fly? I sold the guitar probably in 2002 or so.

This Fly is unique because back in the day I was very brave and I figured out the pickup wiring and added a mini switch for each pickup for series/single/parallel switching. I don't know if that exists on any other Fly :)

I also installed Dunlop Straplocks, I remember having to cut the screw for the upper horn shorter so it wouldn't go through the back of the body!

It may just be my imagination running wild, but that modded Deluxe does ring a bell for me, @Darth Tater; due to that switching layout being rare to see on a Fly without a Sustainiac pickup in the neck position. I'll certainly keep an eye out for it.
