Re: Replacement pickup wiring

@Patzag. So glad you are digging them! Definitely the best think I ever did for my Fly.

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

I just told Pete that I had a Parker Fly and he said he had a matched set that he would recommend for the best usable tones. The invoice just says custom P90 and HB for Parker fly. I’m sure he be happy to explain the differences the options would provide. He was very helpful and easy to talk to in t...

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

I promised @patzag I’d post a clip of the Humbucker.
Even at brutal amounts of gain it is still shows so much clarity and musicality.

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

I’m in the same boat. Been looking for a years for another dragon fly, but I’m getting everything I want out of these pups.

The quality on the original Flys just can’t be approached

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

Here’s a pic of the install.

Fits in perfectly with no routing or modifications at all.
Uses the same hex pole pieces to mount into guitar.

I’ve damn near played it until it fell apart, but I’m giving her a new life. I know it looks like the electric version of Willie Nelson’s guitar.

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

Hey guys . Here are a few quick samples of my new Vintage Vibe P90 in my 96 Fly.

So much fun I can’t stand it. Ignore the clams, just trying to get this out quickly.

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

Thanks to @mmmguitar I’ve got my old Fly Classic sounding better than ever! Reversed the polarity on the P90 and kept the coil split on the HB and now it quacks like a duck. Just fantastic! I’ve never had a P90 before and I’m already getting better edge of breakup tones than I’ve ever had. My high g...

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

Thanks for all your help!

I’m going to try swapping the leads around today and see if I can get a better middle position sound.

Re: Replacement pickup wiring

Pretty much got it figured out but would still appreciate your color coded diagram. HB sounds good but has a high feedback squeal when I’m not playing. Maybe it’s just a brighter pickup than I’m used to. Split HB with P90 in middle position is pretty anemic. How would I go full HB with the p90 in mi...

Replacement pickup wiring

Hey everyone,

I’m upgrading the pickups on my 96 Fly Classic.

I just got a bridge HB and a neck p90 from Vintage Vibe.

Trying to wire the to the 3 position switch. Original Dimarzios had 5 leads. My new HB has 4 and the P90 has 2.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

My Social Distancing 2020 tour.

Well, since I can’t be gigging right now I turned my recording studio into a video studio.

Here’s my first release featuring my Dragonfly 824.

Yes. Sorry using dictation on my phone and didn’t notice typo.

Good thing I’m a guitarist and not an editor!

Re: Dragonfly cleans with Lollar pickups

Lollars swapped right in. No mods at all. Dragonfly is just a bit thicker body than the fly so standard pups fit right in. Lollar is such a great company. Bought these pickups four years ago but guitar was unusable due to wobbly post issues. Fixed posts and humbucker just died on me. Lollar swapped ...

Re: Dragonfly crushing some monster tones

Yep that’s a Lollar bridge pickup too. Big improvements for my guitar. Not as drastically good as their single coils though. Those are stellar. I experienced a huge difference with Ares 2. I always had to keep bass and Midds at about 9-10 o’clock on previous firmwares on high gain. Now I’ve got Bass...

Dragonfly cleans with Lollar pickups

Here’s my Dragonfly after fixing the wobbly posts using the aluminum beer can sheathing method.

I rarely play clean tones, but it’s hard not to with the tones I’m getting with the Lollar pickups I installed.
