DM'd you.

Breathtaking isn't it? No expense spared.... note the optional fan motor cover. Cardboard and tape aplenty. :) Onto pickguard making next. Pickup selection is still up in the air. Budget is tight... I already have spare EMGs so they might go in. I wonder if anyone's fitted them into one of these?

Stand back in pure awe at my patented 'don't die by fumes' device... worked really well actually!

Here we go.

Obviously, this is just done, so pre-flatting and polishing.

The design in my head was this colour, with a matte black puckguard, and probably EMGs.

Clear coats went on yesterday. Pretty good. I've had a lesson in the use of 2K clear mind you... Mostly how dangerous it is! I spend a bit of money on a good mask with the correct filters which was great. Couldn't smell a thing in it. Not sure where they're sold in the world (wherever you are), but ...

I've also drilled out the 'spoke holes' in the truss rod nut to accept a slightly larger implement for adjustment. Plus, drilled them through so I can get more purchase on it. New machine heads ordered. Scratchplate material delivered yesterday, so need to get onto making a new one once i'm done wit...

Certainly.

Here we go..

A few, showing the various colour stages.

It's primer, course silver metallic base coat, candy burnt orange, and next is clear.

Hi VJ, Sorry for late reply, been away... Yeah, that's the one. Doesn't ship to the UK unfortunately :( I've been lazy on the Fishman bridge front, BUT..... very busy on the refinishing front! She's a sunbust no longer.... I bought the P-38 as a project as I had an image in my head of what i'd like....

Did you manage to make a battery cover after all? I ask because I've just bought a P-38 with the same cutout/ cover and could photocopy it (with a steel rule for scale) so you could use as a template if you like?

Cheers Vj. I've stripped the guitar of hardware, think I've come to a decision on the re-finish colour-scheme, so going to start looking for the correct paints, and get on with that side of things first as I know the curing process takes so long when not using something like 2K (I'm going to be usin...

Small update on this.. I messaged the seller, and he most graciously offered £120 refund to get the guitar up to scratch. What a nice fella.

No, the listing didn't state all original. Here it is: Parker P38 version of famous Parker Fly 2000’s built H/S/S Alnicos with Fishman piezo Stereo output One piece ash body, slim maple neck Very playable and huge range of tones with switching options Comfortable to play and solid without being too ...

I'm assuming the Ken Armstrong designed pickups are standard?

OK... the plot thickens (a bit).... Fitted fresh strings to just the E and A (because the rest were already so loud via the piezo), and noticed that the saddles of these two strings weren't screwed down properly. Tightened them and it's helped a bit, but still not as loud/bright as the rest of the s...

I think I spent an hour gazing at this thing! Wow!

Wow..... amazing.

Checked those threads out. Awesome, cheers. Although this P-Series is in fantastic condition, it's gonna eventually have a refinish. Gonna ask for suggestions from people. I saw s nitefly with a white body and black neck. Very cool. I was thinking of something a little bit way out though.... maybe p...

So I've bought two parkers within two ish weeks, joined this forum and found it's the best, 'on the ball' forum I've been part of. Amazing wealth of info and knowledge. Thanks fellas. New strings ordered, will report back. This guitar was purchased as a potential project btw. Thinking of a refinish,...
