the Fly Clone Project

Hey guys,

I just make a quick post to know your opinion on a model I saw on a local dealer, I just want to know what would be the market price for this type of fly, I read a lot about Artist fly but you always referred to it as pre refined one are the refined one also Artist ones?
Overall the guitar looks mint, the only info I have is te serial number: 20160505DSS.

I attach some shot for you guys to see

Cheers !

Hi @KenanJ—that is a refined Fly Artist; the serial is probably not copied correctly. It appears to be a 2005.

The market value is all over the map, I’m sorry to say; someone might pay $3,500 for it, someone might pay $6,500 for it.

If this is local, then maybe you can get it at a good price. Good luck!

I owe you one Kenanj! If it weren't for your post I never would have thought a Google search for Parker Fly Artist would yield anything but old results. Ed Roman just listed a pre refine artist for sale for 5999. I offered 5750 and she's coming home with me! Count yourself extremely lucky to find it any cheaper than that and absolutely BUY IT!

Congrats @InsideInfo !

I think a pre refined Artist worth much than a refined ? Anyways let us know with some pics when she arrives home !

Don't sit on it too long, there's some ravenous collectors out there And I wouldn't think (at least for me) there's be a huge difference between refine and pre-refine, maybe 500 bucks max? I'd be happy with either for sure.
