mmguitar There are two, maybe 3 final bits that could or should be done. First is the fact that someone cut the nut slots too low. Especially the D and G. So I jerry rigged a temporary 0 fret using a piece of wire. Made it playable. Intonation could be off a hair and I'm not sure if it's too high a...

mmguitar I spent some time recently looking at all the Nitefly wiring diagrams I could find and noticed that when there are single coils involved that they all have white going to ground. I was going on what I read on the DiMarzion website that said that black is always ground on their single coils...

I also have a 97 nitefly and I found it necessary to slide the pickguard into place keeping the points that end up on either side of the neck flush with the body.

Thanks @mmmguitar,
Next week I will make the wiring changes you described and see how it comes out.
Is there any rule of thumb as to how much space I should have between the pickups and the strings?

mmmguitar , thanks. This is my first experience wiring a guitar so I'm still getting up to speed. Yes, there is still 60 cycle hum in position 2, so let me give you all the details of how it is wired. The black wires coming from the single coil DiMarzios are wired to ground on the volume pot. The D...

So it is playable and I am loving playing it. Woohoo! There are only a few things to be ironed out at this point I think. I had to guess at how to wire the piezo volume knob as it appeared there was only one choice but it didn't quite work. The volume went from off to maximum in about 15 degrees of ...

OK, so here it is in its first incarnation. 20211003_201842.jpg Zero fret is currently a piece of orange wire [with plastic insulation! I just realized I should replace it with a piece of black wire. DOH!] that is about 1.75 mm according to my digital caliper. Anyone know what the string height at t...

20210930_205435.jpg So I got it wired up mostly. See my previous post for all the gruesome details. In this pic there is a capo on the first fret because someone cut the nut so low that the open D and G strings just buzz on the first fret. The capo let me make sure the rest of the neck was ok. I ha...

Interesting possibilities suggested there. I have never wired a guitar before so just putting it back as it came from Parker is challenge enough for my little brain. So I learned some more things. One is that the two things in the plastic bag that looked like the two ball bearings for the piezo sadd...

Neck looks immaculate. Can't wait to string it up and see/feel how it plays. The "Extra Jack" installed is another story. I finally got up the nerve to remove the screws and peek under the chrome jack panel. 20210927_165424.jpg And yeah, the second factory jack panel screw hasn't got much ...

One of the bags of parts had an extra saddle in it [from what I've read these are "dog bone" saddles?] along with two teeny tiny what look like ball bearings. [seen in the top left corner of the plastic bag below] I was wondering about them until I lifted the tape on the bridge and it look...

I too need this wiring diagram desperately as my NAV2 came with all of its guts removed and disconnected.

Also, have been seeing on photos and videos of the tremolo springs in the back, that nobody has the screws screwed all the way in like mine does. Not sure how I should go about adjusting it properly but I'm sure that can't be done until there are strings on it. I landed a Fishman Powerblend on Ebay ...

Just read in the Players Guide that Nitefly guitars came with .009-.042 strings on them so I guess I was wrong about the .010s or .011s then.

Here's a closeup of the front of the body [finish on the guitar is fine. Reflections are tree leaves and sky above me.] 20210925_161548.jpg And the back 20210925_162120.jpg Other things that came with it. 20210925_164014.jpg I understand the whammy bar and the two T shaped allen keys. The smaller on...

So, I took possession today of the guitar and parts. With commission and sales tax it was $330. Very happy about that! Overall I think it looks really good. The neck looks like new. The tuners look oxidized but functional. There is a new pickguard. The old one has some extra holes in it. BTW, This i...

The description says that all the original parts are there. They are just all in plastic bags. I haven't seen it in person yet, just photos on an auction site. There's a new pickguard, so that's good. Saturday I'll know more what I've gotten myself into once it is in my hands. Part of the descriptio...
