Hi, I wonder if this guitar is really a Supreme, because I have never heard about a black Surpreme?

Could someone confirm that this is really a Supreme?

Thank you so much!
:D

Sure looks like it, although since its painted black it doesn't look so special.
Price was pretty good as long as the true rod works and you don't mind the mods.

Thank you for your answer!

Sorry, but I am not a native english speaker — so what is a true rod?

I believe that was autocorrected from “truss rod” 😉

oops!

Yes, TRUSS Rod. It adjusts the forward or backward relief on your neck. If you like the way it plays, you may never have to touch it!

I assume DeepBlueMind purchased it. If so, congrats on your modified Fly Maple Classic/Supreme with opaque finish. Please let us know if those “inlays” are peel-off decals.

…inlays were drilled. Unfortunately. And electrics heavily modified. Had a long conversation with the seller, very nice guy!👍🏻

Though not above playing a Fly with inlays set into the CF, I would not enjoy living in paranoia of seeing new cracks radiating outward from the inlay material following a seasonal temperature swing.
