Interesting backstory if it’s true.
I have no interest in this other than the fact it’s here in town.
Cheers!
Notice the “low” price!

Re: Interesting Craigslist post for ‘95 Fly
Yes, I’ve seen that one on eBay and Reverb as well.
The onboard effects feature took me by surprise—I can’t say I’ve ever actually played a guitar that has guitar pedal components built in (if I’m understanding that correctly).
In any case, I’m not sure how well the “star-played” aspect factors into the price in the used, but, it’s a nice Fly nonetheless!!

Re: Interesting Craigslist post for ‘95 Fly
True it is an interesting guitar but “star played” does nothing for the value.
Now star owned is entirely different thing, I’ve played Adam Dutkiewicz‘s personal Mojo and it definitely had a specific feel, sound and playability that was well beyond the production models. It’s amazing how much a good setup does for an already stellar design like the Parker and when that setup is done really well it is especially nice/noticeable even for a mediocre player like me.

Re: Interesting Craigslist post for ‘95 Fly
I completely agree! I only bought one Fly directly from Parker Guitars and it came with a great factory setup; they even asked me what guage string I use (10s)! Many of the Flys I've bought on the used market have needed some mild setups, in particular, some slight nut filing. I know that @Ken Parker made a tool that allowed his team to put a finished guitar into a press, press a button, and have 6 perfectly cut nut slots punched into the nut--very cool concept! The machine was optimized for 9s, so if you're used 10-46 strings, that G string slot is a little on the tight side.

And that's another Classic without "Classic" on the headstock.

I think you're going to become the expert historian in this area, @rjsa00!
