Somebody has to post first.

Thanks for taking up the Parker torch. The official Parker forum might be gone, but the Parker Party can Proceed here.

It's not often that I get to be first at anything so I'm the first poster here.

Being the first poster is cool, but I also want to make the post useful to others, so here goes...

My Dragonfly switch died, the one that switches either the mag pickups, piezo pickup or both. I had a devil of a time replacing it, only because when someone on the old Parker forum told me what I needed, I misunderstood.

I found this heavy duty SPDT switch, it fits, and it's working fine. (right click and open in new tab if interested)

It's a little stiffer, and it's nickel colored, which doesn't bother me at all.

I replaced the switch on my custom DF522NN (NN for Notes Norton) Maxxfly (the one on the right)



There I got the first DF picture here too --- I'm on a roll.

The DF522NN has Parker P-Rail Pickups with triple-shot rings. On the rings are two slide switches that enable the pickups to sound like P90s, Rails, Series Humbuckers or Parallel Humbuckers. The Rails are a little weak in output, but if you put both pups on rail it is a very Strat-ish sound. The P90 is about 99% soapbar (a little thinner) and the humbuckers sound nice.



I highly recommend these pickups, it is like having a "Swiss Army Knife" of guitars.

OK enough rambling, party on people.

Those look great! Is the back of the neck also wood-colored?

Yes



The front has darkened except for where some pick scratches are, a scratch plate might have been a good idea for me. I tend to dig the pick too hard when I get excited sometimes

Looks great!

Thanks.

Outdoor gig cancelled tonight due to tropical storm watch, 35mph wind driven rain squalls. So I'm playing on the Internet instead.

I'd rather be gigging, it's the most fun I can have with my clothes on.
