While I have been around these forums for a while, I failed to introduce myself. I was previously on the old forums since 2007 (under the same name), most active from 2007 through 2012.
What got me into Flys was my fascination with their ergonomics and features. I had never seen such a guitar at the time (I came across a picture on a forum post like The Gear Page). The neck joint, for instance, fascinated me. Then, I found a store that carried them! An emerald Fly Mojo flame was my initiation: I was hooked. Soon after, I pulled the trigger on a 1998 Fly Classic.
My Fly had some issues that have finally been resolved, renewing my appreciation for this instrument. It is very clear that much thought went into designing and implementing all aspects of this guitar.
Since then, worsening neck issues have been preventing me from playing many instruments (= Goodbye Les Paul!). Rather than quitting outright, I have instead been relying more on my Fly Classic over the years. It is a pleasure to play and enables me to do so much longer than with any other guitar I own (i.e. The weight is so well distributed). In fact, it has become the only electric guitar I can play standing up without flaring up (in moderation, that is). With other guitars, I feel like I’m fighting both the instrument and gravity.
I’ve stuck with my Fly and it has stuck by me for the past 15+ years. Thanks to Ken and the forum members I have learned from over the years.
p.s. My neck and shoulders would also like to express their appreciation.
