Description

Parker Guitars manufacturing has ended, or so it appears, so those that have already been made are all there will be. Those who monitor our inventory know how fond we are of these guitars and we've purchased and sold dozens of these fine and very unique guitars over the years. With their unique design elements, high tech materials and exotic electronics, there is really no other instrument quite like a Parker guitar.

Offered here is a superb "pre-refined" era Parker Fly Classic in Natural Mahogany finish. Built in 2001 before Ken Parker sold the company, this guitar has all of the early and revolutionary design elements that Ken envisioned for the Fly. Such early models can be easily identified of course by the exposed balance wheel and four button controls, features which were eliminated in later versions in an effort to control manufacturing costs. Many Parker aficionados are adamant that these pre-2003 guitars, built while Ken still owned the company, are the best Parkers that were ever produced.

This 2001 Classic has a Mahogany body and a Basswood neck. It has a transparent Natural Mahogany finish on top and a solid black finish on the back and neck. The electronics include DiMarzio humbuckers and a Fishman piezo systyem. It has the original Fly features, including the aforementioned face-mounted balance wheel, four-button control layout, the push-button piezo/stereo activation switch, etc. It weighs just 5.0 pounds and plays like butter. It sounds great too, as evidenced by the provided sound sample.

Despite being nearly 17 years old, this guitar remains in fabulous condition. It shows just the lightest of pick scratching in the playing area that can only be seen from very close up and under intense lighting. The stainless steel frets remain in near flawless condition. It comes in it's original Parker-branded molded hardshell case, along with the trem arm, stereo cable, adjustment wrenches, extra trem springs and Parker booklets.

If you have been thinking about getting yourself a really nice Parker guitar for your collection, time is wasting. Make this beauty yours today!
