the Fly Clone Project

2015 Midi Mojo Fly Natural - NOS 10/10
1999 Fly Deluxe Silver - 9.99/10

I keep saying I'm done and then an equisite example becomes available and i fall apart lol. I FINALLY scored an Artist today so I'll post that when she comes in next week. Now that I've seen all the colors in person I can definitely say Gold and Silver are my two favorite colors with white coming in a close second after 1a and 1b. Not surprising that those are the best colors on such a classy looking instrument!

Even the skeletons find them irresistable, @InsideInfo!

Because some regular posters have DNS issues preventing them from viewing imgbb embeds, I hope you don't mind that I added your photos as attachments in your post.

So jealous !! That silver looks SICK!

Thanks Kenanj! @mmmguitar, no problem thanks for posting those. The skeletons are definitely rocking out!

Though the question wasn't intended for me, I can say that they're the same (piezo-fed hexaphonic preamps with analog 13 pin outputs) - "MIDI" is the misnomer USM ran with; with only the MIDI Fly sold under Ken's tenure (which was a Nitefly with MidiAxe hardware) having had a 5 pin MIDI-out built in to the guitar (old Reverb listing, for reference).
