Parker hard case

I have a pristine hard case specifically for a Parker guitar (Parker branded). I have no idea what a fair price would be for it. The market is small, but the items is rare. I would appreciate comments to help me sell it for a fair price, perhaps on Reverb

Thanks!

Re: Trem spring woes

You were correct. The threaded rod was jamming as it headed towards the bottom of the guitar. I managed to get it to go much further by carefully jiggling it while I rotated the knob. Once the rod was fully minimized, the spring went in easily.

Thank you all!

Re: Trem spring woes

The knob/wheel is adjusted so that the threaded rod is all the way to the right. I would not have posted this topic if it were this simple.

Were there Parkers made with different sizes of springs? I don't mean #9 vs #10, I mean overall length?

I am selling the guitar, and the buyer does not care ...

Trem spring woes

I do not play my Parker much, but when I went to do so, I discovered that the #9 trem spring had broken in two. I have a #10 spring, but that appears to be so long that I cannot see how to insert it into place. The pictures may be helpful. Any hints?

Thanks!

Jon
