It has a 010 spring so I bought D’addario EXL110, had to rewire the mags volume and tone, I accidentally teared the ribbon cable when was trying to tight the potis that were dancing round and round. Are ...

Hello everyone,
I think I read somewhere here the factory recommended string gauge for the different springs for the vibrato Flys. But I can not seem to find it, can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I think it was something like :

for .009 spring - recommended gauge is D’Addario ...

Thank you @Patzag I had already seen it and contacted the seller

I'm used to my Gibson ES330, it's s a <2,8Kg Guitar and I would like very much to go below the 2,5Kg line with the Parker. Do you have an idea what is the specific weight of your different Parkers?

would you recommend one more for clean, jazzy tone?


When I do clean fingerstyle playing and I want warmth, I reach for my Fly Mojo with the Jazz neck pickup. I use D’Addario 10s, I have the bridge blocked, and I’m very happy with the results. If I need a little more articulation for each note ...

Do you intend to use the vibrato much? A good Hardtail definitely removes some of the variables that can make it more challenging to separate the good from the bad when looking for one used.


Not really and that was also my though at the beginning: without vibrato I would avoid many problems ...

Hello again,

I am still on a quest to get my first Fly :). I have looked everywhere I could find, contacted some people about their announcements and I found some specimens. Most of them unfortunetly overpriced in my opinion. The ones near me have a lot of paint issues and rusty hardware from ...

Guess what I found another one for 1500€ but with the above mentioned paint cracks. I would very much appreciate your help here

Thank you all for your feedbacks. I definitely do not want to be the next greater fool...So I followed vjmanzo's advice and I wrote a WTB post in the Classified section.

I have a question for you - Fly owners and experts:

Such color cracks and fretboard discoloration should/could be a no go sign ...

Hi, I am looking for my first Parker Fly! Although this guitar might need a tune up setup it should have no structural, issues regarding truss rod, pickups mag and piezo, vibrato system and fundamental missing parts. Optical issues do not concern me as much although it may point to guitar problems ...

I am trying to go for it! The good condition Parker Fly for $2500 I found through the forum here. It is going to be hard work because the Guitar is in the US and I need to try to get it without having to pay over 20% in custom and tax fees including shipping prices - this is so stupid... It would be ...

In that case a non vibrato Parker Fly would be a safer investment, for someone not using the tremolo bar all that much... They seem to be lighter too, right? But also not as common as the vibrato ones I believe.
I am trying my luck on a vibrato deluxe one right now. It looks pretty good, but I will ...

Is it a big risk, does it happen a lot? I read the post here of a Fly resurrection dumped in the trash with a hole in the bridge section...

Thank you for your answer! I already checked marc's post :)
But is it so difficult to set up the vibrato that one has to be afraid of messing things up?!
I read a post where an user was having trouble using the balance wheel, because it would not lock, could this be such a case and so you should not ...

Hi, I am new to this forum! Very helpful! Thank you to all responsibles! I am on a quest of finding my first Parker :o . I am looking for a feather light Guitar, with a good clean sound. I am an acoustic Guy and when I play "electric magnetic pickup guitars" I play 90% of the time clean, cable ...
