Re: tightening the cable plug - how?

Thanks for the advice! Any idea what tool would work the best for this? Also thanks for the advice about making sure the barrel doesn't move!

Re: tightening the cable plug - how?

Thank you so much. I will definitely try this when I get the chance. Otherwise, everything else works fine. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know this. I report how it goes once it's done. Update: I opened the guitar up and I can see the nut you are talking about. But I'm not sure what kin...

Re: tightening the cable plug - how?

It's on my Fly deluxe. It feels like the instrument cable should be tighter as you insert it into the Jack. It feels like it could almost fall out of the input jack on the guitar. Not quite, but you don't have to use hardly any force when pulling the cable out. Is that normal on a Pre-refined Fly de...

Re: tightening the cable plug - how?

Hello vjmanzo, Is there anything that can be done if you feel that the instrument cable is a bit loose now when in the input jack? It doesn't seem to be as tight as the input jacks of my other non-Parker guitars. I'm hoping this doesn't mean I eventually need to replace my input jack. Thanks in adva...

Re: Painting a Parker Fly

I'm not sure when she closed down. But I could tell she still gets called a lot for this kind of work. I would love to hear if anyone has had good luck elsewhere for finish fixes or full refinishes. I do think it's important for the group as a whole.

Re: Parker Fly PPG Paint Codes

Has anyone figured out what paints whether it be PPG or House of Kolor would work for a 1995 Parker Fly Deluxe in Majik Blue? I was thinking of getting a chip fixed on mine but needed to match the color perfectly. Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Painting a Parker Fly

Hello everyone, I just wanted to post an update since I spoke to Sharon on Friday the 14th of October 2022. The bad news is Sharon has since left the business entirely of refinishing guitars Parker's and otherwise. She got a job offer she couldn't refuse and has since shut down Shazrock. Maybe someo...

Re: Hi Everyone

Thanks Paul! I kind of got that feeling too. I know you mostly see the trem versions these days. But I do know the first Fly's Ken made were hardtail versions.

Hello! New Parker Owner

Hello everyone, I finally purchased my first Parker Fly. I had always wanted one from the moment I saw them at my local guitar center back in the mid to late 90's. I recently was fortunate to buy a 1995 Parker fly Deluxe hardtail. Looks like I'm the 3rd owner of this amazing guitar. I'm so glad that...
