@KenanJ, three holes are required to be drilled for the internal pickup mounting (I'm using the GK3 for reference; because I haven't installed a GK-5, yet): Two for mounting screws, and one pilot running from the underside of the pickup into the control cavity so that the wire bundle terminating in...

Hello, Lori. Does anyone out there have any experience with this type of install. Is it stable? can it be removed without damaging the finish of the guitar? Though the tape Roland supplies should be safe for your Fly's finish, I remember it being lower tack than the roll of M3 mounting tape I have ...

Love that color! Congrats, @Dingus!

Dang I’m uber jealous of that color ….

How do you like it VJ? I like it very much! Thanks for asking! I have it on an acoustic archtop guitar with a Mono strap and it’s holding like a champ! Sweet ! Do you have the big mono strap ? I’m also in the quest of a padded strap. I order a very large Ernie ball cloud strap but I heard the mono ...

A great gift from my friend Alberto.

Just ordered one—thanks for the recommendation, @billy and @alber.t

How do you like it VJ? I was able to grab one yesterday from Amazon UK for a decent price. Can’t wait to receive it

Thanks I will give it shot

I do the same but sometimes some stains stay on the carbon fiber glass fretboard. Do you spray water on the micro fiber then wash ?

Hey guys,

I want to have the input of experience fly owners about your general regimen when it comes to cleaning a fly.

Thanks in advance

It’s a very interesting article. Thanks for sharing !

I didn’t get the chance to see the guitar in hands. It was proposed to me when buying parts from a guy named Chris Andrews in the UK maybe it’s the same person that mmmguitar mentioned. But to me those QC issues are a no go. I don’t a world where it can be fixed easily. That ice blue burst color tho...

I think the offcentering problem would act on the bridge and offcenter it too I can't say for certain - The sad reality is that many mass-produced guitars have alignment issues resulting from a nut's mounting being the smallest amount out of spec, a bridge rout being the smallest amount out of spec...

Can we source replacement nuts though? Someone more in the know will need to confirm/correct me on this, but the nut used on Flys from approximately 1994 through 2011 appears to be a tapered Graph Tech Black Tusq XL blank (#PT-4161-00) which was slotted in a jig designed by Ken to cut four nuts at ...

Like I said, to me eyes it seems that the pickup cavity is was not centered so I suspect the bridge is iff centered too resulting in the high e being too close to the edge of the neck and from what I see (I don't have the axe in hands) it doesn't seem "fixable"... Ah. I see what you mean....

We also see that the ball bearing of the bridge on the high e side seem all the way out of the socket to compensate for that ?

@KenanJ, have you measured the spacing of the bridge pickup's polepieces against the neck pickup's or the bridge pickup from another Fly, just to rule that spec out as a factor in what we're seeing? FWIW, I've found Dimarzio's F-spacing (spec'd at 51.05mm) to have varied somewhat over the decades. ...

Hey guys, I want to have yout input on this axe with yout expert eyes. On this deluxe from 05, the string spacing is off and I thought this was a brdge issue but looking better is seems that the pickup rout is way off, is it something possible, and how could have this passed quality control? I attac...

Nice price drop for Europe based people for this DF724
