the Fly Clone Project

Hello,
New to the forum. I recently just purchased a used PM20 and I was hoping to mod the hardware with black, PM20 Pro parts (black locking tuners, black bridge, etc.) Does anyone know of somewhere that I can obtain these parts? I did a quick search here on the forum, but I could not find anything.

Thanks in advance,
BL

I have a white PM20 Pro with black hardware. Selling the whole thing to finance my vice (Parker Flys). I know, it's not parts, but maybe you're interested? $750 shipped to the US.

I had a look through some notes that I had kept from the old Parker site (circa 2006!) concerning modding the PM20.
At the time I too was considering switching to black hardware but I changed my mind. The only thing I did replace was the pickups.

According to my records those who did make the change highly recommended the Grover Mini Locking Rotomatics®
(406 Series)
https://grotro.com/product/mini-locking ... 06-series/. Others had luck with Planet Waves and Sperzels.

For the bridge, the consensus was a roller style, preferably a Schaller, but depending on your budget and playing technique an ABR-1 design would also be acceptable. GuitarFetish has both styles as well as black knurled brass knobs:

Hope this helps.
Just be sure to take accurate measurements before ordering anything.
