Re: How worried should I be?

I decided to stay away from it as I have two more flys that need a bit of work (possible future threads 😁) and I'd be better off getting a prerefined it good condition sometime when I get the chance. The guy offered to drop down to 800 but still I don't think it would have been worth the effort for ...

Re: How worried should I be?

Okay I went to see the guitar and things got interesting. I noticed right away the frets looked different than other fly's I'd seen and the were also worn down which is weird for ss frets. I quickly realised someone actually refretted this with normal nickel frets that have tangs! The guitar actual...

Re: How worried should I be?

Thanks for posting those. In the few other instruments I’ve seen like this, a new fingerboard was added—it appears, here, that the new frets were hammered into the layers of composite material and the wood. Interesting… Yes the fretboard seemed to be intact, I guess it could have been sliced up whe...

Pictures added (I had to take screenshots because the files were too large but hopefully you can see it okay).

Re: How worried should I be?

Just a small update. After talking to you guys I decided to contact the seller (didn't take much convincing :D ). The guy is only back from his holidays later this week so will check out the guitar this weekend. He let me know that the tone knob for the piezo is not working but everything else is fi...

Re: How worried should I be?

Thanks for the replies guys, it's hard for me to evaluate these things as I don't have massive experience with parkers to be confident to judge those things so your input is much appreciated! Just to give you a reference, the seller is willing to drop down to about 1200 euro (an extra 9 gauge spring...

Re: How worried should I be?

Thank you, that makes sense! Will definitely play it and test everything if I decide to buy it. Yes, I got my first fly almost two years ago but due to moving countries I didn't get to play it much. I also picked up a deluxe recently in the same colour as in your avatar which I've been playing quite...

How worried should I be?

Hi Everyone, There's a Fly Deluxe for sale local to me. The guitar is well played and has plenty of bucklerash, dings etc and the price reflects that. However I am worried about anl crack at the top under the bridge. I have read that this is due to the spring being overtightened. Also the bridge see...

Re: Fly Mojo Quality control

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'll keep on to the guitar and do my best to reglue the fallen fret and clook at other frets that might need attention because it's a great guitar minus the fret issues. Do you know if it's possible to buff up the composite fretboard edges which have been slightly...

Fly Mojo Quality control

Hi all, I got a new old stock 2008 Parker fly Mojo from a shop that still had one in stock back in my home country (Cyprus). I live abroad so I had someone pick it up for me and didn't really have a look at the guitar, but was assured by the shop that it was unused and as it came from the factory wi...
