Parker Fly "MethHead" Deluxe on Reverb

I am so tempted!!
...but not knowing the condition of the frets/fretboard worries me. And it would probably need another $500 in parts.

I saw that too—always a risk buying something like this. $800 starting + tax + $58 shipping, so you’re in it for closer to $900.

My general thought is usually, “What would I ultimately put into this all-in before I felt comfortable/assured bringing it to a gig”. Unfortunately, we don’t know why that Fly ended up on this tech’s workbench to begin with—was it just electronics? Frets or truss? 😬 Filling in the pickup pockets—that seems like a pain. 😐

This is the kind of Fly you hope to find in the trash like Gary did ♥️

Yeah! ...for $300 maybe I'd pull the trigger, but $800+ is too rich for me.

Well, looks like somebody bought it!

If it was someone from here, please share the work you do on that thing, I'd love to see it! :)
