Hey guys!
Used to post on the old official Parker guitars forum many moons ago. I was the guy who has several Parkers hung on my wall by the frame horns.
Been out of guitar for the past decade or so. Recently Took lots of guitars out of storage and purchase a couple new PRS's..
Still got my pretty much dead mint Parker 10th anniversary model. Still my best playing guitar ever..
Also still have my 2005 Parker fly Mojo single cut. Great guitar. Gave my mint condition nightfly M model to my son with the guarantee that it stays in the family. I got rid of a couple others, and of course regret it.
Serial # 3440403BMH could decode to Julian date 344 December 10th 2003/ 4th Guitar that day/ 2003
Unfortunately, most photos I had were on now defunct Myspace or on Parker Forum which is bye bye as well. Lots of good information there. I remember measuring each of my Parker necks and specking them out in a thread.
To my knowledge, the 10th Annversary run of 25 Fly hardtail customs did not include the gold tone frets of the Jazz model. For whatever reason, the tuners are non-locking Sperzels (stupid move) instead of the commonly found locking models on most Fly guitars. Maybe done to differentiate the guitar? Mine weighs in at 5lb 9oz.
I believe they are transitional guitars, made while Ken was still there, before things went public and US Music took over. Hand-signed by Ken Parker. Love it!
Here's my 10th Anniversary Fly #8 of 25

Welcome home, Jim! Not a fan of gold hardware myself, but the guitar seems to be in great shape. Hope it gets played a lot!
